KILLER, 11, PAYS RESPECTS TO BROTHER ANDREW FRYE

SKYE
THE 11-year-old boy accused of killing his younger stepbrother Andrew Frye was allowed to pay his respects at a private session before the funeral service for friends and family.
Allowed 15, minutes, he saw his 6-year-old sibling, before being whisked back to the juvenile detention centre.
Cops found the Skye on a bed in the family's Martinsville, IN home, with a gaping shotgun wound in his head, after the 11-year-old reported it in a 911 call.
He died a few hours later after being airlifted to hospital.  
Cops initially thought it was an accident but Morgan County prosecutor Steve Sonnega says the evidence led them to believe that it wasn't the case.
He hasn't yet decided whether Andrew's older brother, who made his first court appearance Wednesday, wearing shackles and a Mickey Mouse T-shirt, should be tried as an adult.
His attorney said Wednesday that the boy is upset and remorseful - but is a child who does not understand the gravity of the charges he is facing.
He said: "I don't think trying him as an adult's going to do any good. He needs counseling."
