NEW CASTLE — Attorneys for a boy who was just 11 when he was charged with fatally shooting his father’s pregnant fiancée have asked a judge to dismiss those charges or grant a new juvenile court trial.

Thursday’s hearing wasn’t public and state prosecutors aren’t commenting on it.

The hearing was held after the state Supreme Court in December raised questions about the evidence used to convict Jordan Brown in juvenile court in the February 2009 shotgun killing of 26-year-old Kenzie Houk and her unborn son.
