HONDO, N.M. (AP) — Prosecutors have 30 days to decide whether a 14-year-old boy accused of killing his family should be tried as an adult.
At a hearing Friday in children's court, Cody Posey denied fatally shooting his stepsister, his stepmother and his father, who managed a ranch for ABC newsman Sam Donaldson.
Posey told authorities his father regularly abused him.
"I suspect there's going to be a lot of questions as to why people ignored the signs that should have told them we had a young man desperately fighting for his sanity and help," said his attorney, Gary Mitchell.
