Just as in criminal court, Pennsylvania’s legal system allows juveniles to appeal a judge’s finding that they are responsible. Docket information online shows such an appeal was filed Wednesday with Pennsylvania’s Superior Court on Jordan’s behalf.

 He is being represented by attorneys Dennis Elisco and Stephen Colafella. Attempts to reach both attorneys yesterday were unsuccessful. The docket filing does not contain details about the appeal.

 However, any appeal would focus on what the defense believes to be errors in Hodge’s findings, determinations or assessment of evidence in the case.

 Juvenile appeals are put on what is called a “fast track” by the Superior Court. And in Jordan’s case, the docket indicates a hearing now is scheduled for Aug. 20.

As I said, the judge deliberately wrote the adverse verdict on purpose so the appellate court would not brake a sweat in overturning the decision and setting the boy free. If not, then I will truly think the country has turned forever to a third-world fiefdom.

I think the judge was so intimidated by the victim's family that he had to make the verdict go against Jordan for everyone's safety. I think this case would have ended in a violent confrontation where people would be seriously hurt or killed. That is why the Houks had those bikers over.

Their victory will turn in to a stinging defeat in Pittsburgh in August. They will never get away with it. The Houks are trashing their late daughter and their unborn grandson with this criminal act they were a part of for all this time. One of them should spend some time in prison and Ms. Houk is a perfect candidate. Maybe the fear of prison time will loosen their lips. They indeed can get out of their denial and tell the court the real truth. Some ex-boyfriend of hers had hired someone to  killed her. The Houks have to loose their love of that ex-boyfriend, one who threatened their lives. They must have the courage to overcome this and put him away. Barring that, come August, they will see Jordan Brown walk out of jail a free person before age 21.

They will not get away with it.
