4/10/2010 - The Mich. justice system has just overcome a challenge as two skinhead teenage brothers are denied extradition from Michigan to Pennsylvania.
Seventeen year old Bryan Freeman and sixteen year old David Freeman are being charged with the murder of their parents and younger brother.
They committed the crimes in Pennsylvania but were caught in Michigan after being pulled over by police for speeding.
The murders of Mark and Sally Freeman and their child Jacob Freeman, were just last year and since then the boys have been pushing to be extradited to Pennsylvania where their sentence would likely be lighter due to state laws.
Police say the murders may have been coerced by a local skinhead group that the young boys were attempting to impress.
"These groups are clearly damaging today's impressionable youth," said Police Chief Bill Johnson, "Such a heinous crime is a horrible thing to see."
Allentown residents were shocked when they heard of the murders in the area.
"We know there's a skinhead problem in the area but we never expected anything like that to happen," Says one local Allentown resident.
Their lawyers aren’t saying if they have confessed to the crimes.
