s*********8 发帖数: 901 | 1 VALLEY SPRINGS, Calif. (AP) — The father of a 12-year-old boy accused of
fatally stabbing his 8-year-old sister said he'll believe his son is
innocent until he sees evidence that proves otherwise.
Barney Fowler told The Associated Press the family is backing the boy, who
was arrested Saturday after a crime that terrified this Central California
foothill community.
"Until they have the proper evidence to show it's my son, we're standing
behind him," Fowler said. "If they have the evidence, well that's another
story. We're an honest family."
Fowler had said he planned to address the media Tuesday at the sheriff's
substation in Valley Springs, but sheriff's officials said in a brief
statement late Monday that the news conference was canceled. No reason was
given for the cancellation, and a sheriff's spokesman did not return calls
from the AP.
The boy told investigators on April 27 that he encountered a random attacker
in the family home while his father was attending a Little League game. He
described the man as tall with long gray hair
The boy said the man ran away and he found his sister, Leila Fowler,
bleeding. |
