6. Paul Henry Gingerich
This murder took place in the beautiful state of Indiana, where 12-year-old Gingerich became the youngest kid in the state’s history to be tried and sentenced as an adult.
Paul was meeting with friends in the town of Cromwell close to Michigan’s border. After visiting for a little while the three boys wanted to run away, but one of the friends said his dad would never allow it to happen.
The boys devised a plan to murder Phillip Danner, the stepfather of Colt Lundy who the boys thought would not allow their runaway plan. They stole the gun from the step dad. The boys were all sentenced to prison time, but Gingerich received the longest punishment for firing the shot that would kill the dad.
