Kameron Jones had a few words for the judge after learning Tuesday that he would be placed in Boys Town’s intensive program for troubled youth.
The 12-year-old stood up straight and faced Douglas County Juvenile Court Judge Douglas Johnson. In a soft but firm voice, Kameron made a vow.
“I just want to thank you for this opportunity, and I want you know that I won’t disappoint you.“
Moments earlier, Johnson placed Kameron in Boys Town on the recommendation of Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine and the boy’s family.
Kameron has admitted to fatally shooting his friend, Anthony Ray, 15, on Nov. 8. Kameron and another 15-year-old, Tony Robinson, told police that they thought the gun was empty when it was placed against Anthony’s head.
