New developments in the case of the 8-year old Arizona boy accused of killing his father Vincent Romero, and his father’s house-guest Tim Romans. On Friday, an Arizona prosecutor filed a motion in juvenile court to have the boy cleared of charges of killing his father, stating in the motion that “the interest of justice will be served by such a dismissal.”

There is currently only speculation as to what might have lead to the prosecutors filing the motion of dismissal after previously trying to push to have the 8-year old tried as an adult on double-murder charges.

Earlier this week video was released of the interrogation that was conducted by Arizona police, and it was brought to light that the boy had initially claimed he found the victims dead when he arrived home. The conflicting accounts of what took place at Romero household on the day Vincent Romero and Tim Romans were murdered, in addition to the situation of investigators questioning the boy without an adult present could have presented insurmountable complications for the prosecution. It is also possible that the police have found new evidence in the case, but so far there has been no release of information from anyone involved in the case to shed light on why the prosecution is moving to drop the charges against the boy for killing his father.
