Wow.
This was not anticipated. I'm stunned right now.
I remember when this initially happened (I have a nephew named Jaxon that could be his twin.) I looked into it a lot and got the impression that it was an accident or someone outside both families.
Both sides of Jaxon's family have got to be reeling and shocked right now. Both of Jaxon's parents only recently turned 18. However, they had extensive family support and lived with a parent. That baby was SO loved and adored.
Obviously I have no idea what happened to Jaxon. However when both sides of a victim's family stay close after a death I tend to trust their judgment.
Guilty or innocent Jayden's arrest just further decimated both sides of the family. Since both of Jaxon's parents were home at the time, I also expect there will be some questions as to why only one was arrested. Which will only further divide the families.
Wow. This is a heart breaker.

I've still seen no indication that Jaxon's family is split down the middle... so far it's all support for Jayden.
