“At that point Jordan has two options,” Wright said. “Succumb to the pain of not seeing your family, not celebrating birthdays, not being free, or do your best to get through this situation that your family says has a finite end. He chose the latter.” Jordan and his father, Chris Brown, were living with the 26-year-old Houk and her two girls, aged 4 and 7, when Houk was shot to death in her bed. Chris Brown had left for work and was eliminated as a suspect.
Houk’s sister, Jennifer Kraner, said she was inside the juvenile courtroom for proceedings against Brown and believes he did it. Brown argued in the lawsuit that the interviews “contained numerous inconsistencies and contradictions” and were not reliable. The lawsuit alleges the ex-boyfriend had made death threats against Houk and several of her relatives, although he denied doing so in testimony at Brown’s juvenile court hearing.
