Arvada Enterprise, June 27, 1929 Sterling.—The question of whether a child under 10 can understand the gravity of a crime faces authorities here as they investigate the fatal shooting Sunday of Gilbert Jackson, 12, by [name suppressed for findagrave], a 7-year-old playmate. The Colorado statute holding that a child under 10 cannot understand the gravity of crime and cannot therefore be held guilty of crime or misdemeanor stands between the childslayer and immediate justice. 1920 Federal Census Sterling Colorado James H Jackson 45 Head Girtie E Jackson 43 Wife Earl Jackson 21 Son Alva Jackson 19 Son Lillie Jackson 15 Daughter Lester Jackson 10 Son Les Jackson 6 Son Muriel Jackson 4 Son Gilbert Jackson 3 Son Neva Jackson 0 Daughter Lawrence Innis 27 Son-in-law Zura May Innis 22 Daughter Vera Innis 1 Granddaughter
