Freedom for Kent County's youngest convicted killer

Jamarion Lawhorn is free, six years after he became Kent County's youngest killer.

In 2014, 12-year-old Lawhorn stabbed 9-year-old Connor Verkerke on the playground.

He chose Connor at random, hoping police would kill him, putting an end to abuse at home by his mother and stepfather.

However, he spent the last few years undergoing treatment at the Evart Youth Academy.

His therapist, Melissa Haight-Emmorey says he's a low risk for violence and has been incident free.
