Update: Caffey Family murders *Daughter, Erin Caffey, being tried as adult*

Caffey Family

Erin has been moved to the Hopkins County Jail and bond set at $1.5 million. I bet she stays put for a bit! I do not believe she will face the death penalty, like the others, as she was under 18 when the crime was committed.
