Elizabeth Teen Admits To Killing Father, Gets Probation

POSTED: 6:05 pm EDT April 10, 2008
UPDATED: 6:14 pm EDT April 10, 2008

A 14-year-old Elizabeth Township girl accused of killing her father was sentenced to juvenile probation Thursday.

Police said the girl had endured years of sexual and physical abuse and lived in a filthy home, before deciding she had had enough, and shot her father.

By admitting to involuntary manslaughter as a delinquent, she will be placed under probation until she turns 21.

The girl was 13 when she shot Matthew Booth Sr. in the face on July 30, 2007.
