Defense wants Pa. boy murder suspect released (AP)

NEW CASTLE, Pa. ? Attorneys for a Pennsylvania boy who was just 11 when he allegedly killed his father's pregnant fiancee and unborn son want the Pennsylvania Superior Court to release him from juvenile custody while the court decides an appeal by newspapers to open his trial to the public.

The court heard arguments last week in Pittsburgh about whether to open the trial of Jordan Brown, who is now 14.

State law required Brown to be charged as an adult in the February 2009 killings before his attorneys convinced a judge to move the case to juvenile court. The trial was then closed to the public.

Brown's attorney tells the Beaver County Times ( http://bit.ly/w3RRga) the attorneys want Brown released until the trial, which has been delayed indefinitely by the newspapers' appeal.
