Nine-year-old child charged for murdering five people in Illinois. Woodford County State’s Attorney Greg Minger told the PRESS on October 8th that it is a tragedy to charge a young child of serious crime. The said crime was of killing five people by intentionally setting fire to a mobile trailer at the Timberline Mobile home park in Goodfield village, about 150 miles southwest of Chicago.

- Jason Wall (Age 34)
- Rose Alwood (Age 2)
- Daemon Wall (Age 2)
- Ariel Wall (Age 1)

They were sure that a nine-year-old would not have the intent to commit mass murder. Betsy Clark, President of Juvenile Justice initiative based in Evanston, Illinois, said that the charges are entirely out of line.
