Jamarion Lawhorn Trial

13-year-old Jamarion Lawhorn, who is accused of fatally stabbing a younger boy at a Kentwood playground last August, is being tried in as an adult. A Kent County judge this summer ruled that Lawhorn, now 13, is competent to assist in his own defense for the slaying of 9-year-old Connor Verkerke at the Pinewood Village mobile home park after Verkerke fell off a slide. Lawhorn was 12 years old at the time of the killing.
