An unidentified twelve year old will be in Miller County court this week to determine whether he will be tried as an adult.
Jason and Rachel Duncan, the boy’s parents, were found dead from gunshot wounds at the Palace Lane mobile home park off Highway 42 in Kaiser on July 5th. At a certification hearing scheduled for Wednesday, the court will determine if the juvenile court will handle the case.
Missouri law says 12 is the minimum age that a juvenile may be tried as an adult in severe felony cases.
