"EUREKA, Ill. (WMBD) — A nine-year-old Goodfield boy will likely no longer face murder charges for a fire he is accused of starting in 2019 that killed five people.

Judge Charles Feeney made the determination in Woodford County court during a hearing Thursday. Feeney, citing a fitness evaluation done by Dr. Eugene Griffin, said it is unlikely Kyle Alwood will gain fitness to stand trial in the next year"

I'm glad this child isn't going to prison.

I don't know enough about the child to say whether I'm glad or not about his punishment, but I do hope he gets the help he needs and can salvage the remaining years of his life. He should have a lot of life left ahead of him.

Agreed. Minger is a tool!
