And sitting around and acting as if the brother did nothing wrong- will not keep it from happening again. He needs to step up and take the punishment for what he did. I do feel sorry for the family because of what the brother has caused. If it would have been someone outside the house that had killed their son- they would be wanting the murderer to pay. So what's the difference? There is none. It was murder, whether it was a family member or not should not even be a factor to the family. Unless they just don't want justice for the murdered kid.

The thing is that it was NOT murder. Do you know the brother? Do you know Jesse? PROBABLY NOT! You get on here running your mouth, saying what you feel, BUT you DO NOT know all the facts. Does it matter to you that the boy was playing with the gun and it accidentally went off? Does it matter to you that the brother has LOST EVERYTHING? He has lost his brother and NOTHING will bring him back. Did you happen to know that the brothers were the best of friends?
Once again, probably NOT! My heart breaks not only for Jesse but for the brother that pulled the trigger as well because this poor kid will have to live with the guilt of pulling the trigger for the rest of his life, despite the fact that it was an ACCIDENT! He has to deal with the fact that he no longer has a brother and that is so sad. I know these kids! These kids mean alot to me and I was one of the people grieving at his funeral...so before you pass judgments and are ready to send this child to the electric chair, maybe you need to take a look and see a grieving family and community! Maybe you need to look outside yourself and see a 14 year old that made a MISTAKE that cost the life of his brother. A mistake, an accident....big difference from MURDER!

I can not believe what I'm seeing. You think a young boy who will never be the same needs charges filed on him "WHAT"? It was an accident. How come when Adam got shot nobody said a word about that. This young man will hold himself accountable for killing his brother. That in it's self will be punishment enough! Nobody is acting like he did nothing wrong. He knows what he did was stupid. If he could take it back he would.

Whether it was murder is probably up for a good debate. He purposefully played with a gun, whether he knew it was loaded or not has no bearing. As for your 'feelings' and the families 'feelings' on the issue also has no bearing on this issue. Facts speak for themselves. Whether he is sorry now has no bearing. just because the family has 'lost' one son and wishes not to 'lose' the other, does not mean the boy should not be held accountable.

I am sick of you "sick of white trash". Believe you have been on other sites shooting your mouth off and you really need to get a life. It is beyond me why anyone would want to add to the heart ache, and pain this family is going through. They did not lose one child, but two. It is tragic enough without the likes of you getting on here and rubbing salt in the wound. Where is your heart? Never mind, you have already proven you do not have one. Find yourself something to do and leave this family alone.

The fact remains a young boy is dead. Yet to another gun accident. Texas wants to spend all this money on "Click it or Ticket" campaigning...We need to start making the punishment for leaving guns to where kids can access them a bit harsher. I just don't know how to feel with this. I know it was a horrible accident..but I would hate to let my son go play with friends where they were able to get a hold of a gun. What if this boy killed one of the other kids? Fourteen years old is old enough to know right from wrong. Should he be held criminally liable? Who knows?
