PITTSBURGH — A Superior Court panel is rejecting the appeal of a boy who was 11 when he was charged with killing his father’s pregnant fiancee.

The three-member panel ruled Thursday that it had found no error in how a county judge handled the case of Jordan Brown, now 18.

A Lawrence County judge last year denied Brown’s request to dismiss the charges or grant a new juvenile court trial.

Brown was charged as a juvenile and adjudicated delinquent in the 2009 shotgun slaying of 26-year-old Kenzie Houk, who was eight months pregnant.
