Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  He tama e 11 noa iho ona tau i te wā i whakawakia ai ia mō te patu mate i te wahine whakaipoipo hapū a tōna pāpā, kua tono ki te whakakore i ngā whakapae, ki te whakawhiwhia rānei ki a ia he whakawakanga hou. I mauheretia a Jordan Brown, e 17, i te tau 2012 mo te patu patu i a Kenzie Houk, 26, me tana tama kaore ano kia whanau, me te pupuhi i te Hui-tanguru 2009, no te mea i hae ia ka hoatu ki te tamaiti tana ruma. I rongo te kooti i a Houk, e waru marama te hapūtanga, e moe ana i te wā i whakatata atu ai a Brown ki a ia me tētahi pupuhi 20 kaute i hipoki ki te kākahu, ā, ka pupuhi i tōna matenga. Heoi anō, e kī ana ngā roia a Brown, kāore i tino tika ngā taunakitanga i whakamahia hei whakahe i a ia, ā, ko ia te patunga o te whakawā tere. 'Rush judgment': I whakawakia a Jordan Brown (i te taha maui i te tau 14), mo te pupuhi i te hoa wahine a tona papa a Keznie Houk (matau) i a ia e waru marama te hapu ana me te moe. E kī ana ia kāore i kitea he taunakitanga. Te ohorere: Ko tana papa a Chris Brown (i whakaahuatia) i korero mo tona ohorere i muri i te whakaeke i te wa e 11 noa iho ana nga tamariki. I a ia e tono ana kia whakawakia anō i te Rāhoroi, ka mea te roia o te kaitautoko, a Steve Colafella: 'Ki taku whakaaro kaore he kōwhiringa a te kooti whakawakanga, engari ko te whakawakanga hou. 'Kei te tino whakaaro mātou kāore i nui ngā taunakitanga hei whakahe i a ia i tua atu i te ruarua, ā, e whakapono ana mātou ka whakawāteatia ia.' I whakaarahia e te Kooti Nui o te kawanatanga nga patai mo te keehi i te marama o Tihema. I kii nga roia o Jordan Brown i tonoa nga taha e rua ki te tuku i nga tohe tuhituhi i mua i te putanga o te kaiwhakawa i te whakatau whakamutunga i roto i etahi wiki ka tumanako ratou ki tetahi whakatau pai. Kāore ngā kaiwhakawā kāwanatanga i kōrero wawe i muri i te whakarongo kati i te rohe o Lawrence. He maha ngā wā i kī ai te pirihimana me ngā kaiwhakawā kāwanatanga, kāore he tohu o te taunakitanga ki tētahi atu, engari ki a Brown, e 17 nei ōna tau ināianei. E kī ana te whakawātea, he tere te whakawātea o te whakamātautau ki te tamaiti, nā te whānau o Houk i whakatenatena. Kua korerotia e rātau ki ngā kaitirotiro me ngā kairipoata, i whakamāramatia te tamaiti e tōna pāpā, ā, i hae ki a Houk me tana tamaiti kāore anō kia whānau, e kī ana rātau, ka hoatu ki a ia te rūma o Jordan i roto i tōna...
E kī ana a Jordan Brown, 17 ōna tau ināianei, ko ia te patunga o te whakatau tere. I whakawakia ia mo te kohuru i a Kenzie Houk, 26, nā te mea 'i hae ia i te mea ka hoatu ki tana tamaiti kāore anō kia whānau tōna ruma i roto i te whare o tōna pāpā' E waru marama te hapūtanga o Houk, ka pupuhi a Brown ki tōna matenga i a ia e moe ana. E tono ana ia kia arotakehia ngā taunakitanga kia whakakorea ngā whakapae.
