ATHENS, Ala. A judge ruled that an Alabama teenager charged with killing five family members will remain jailed pending trial, denying a request by defense attorneys to move him to a juvenile detention center.
Mason Sisk, 16, is charged with capital murder in the 2019 slayings of his parents and three siblings in Elkmont. Sisk is being held at the Limestone County jail and his defense attorneys say he s being kept in solitary confinement because Alabama law requires that juveniles be housed separately from adult inmates.
