Patrick Stallworth and his girlfriend Derick Irisha Brown, were formally charged with capital murder of a child under the age of 14. Both could face the death penalty. Stallworth and Brown are held without bond.
Stallworth and Brown had a court hearing this morning. Jefferson County Circuit Judge Clyde Jones read their capital murder warrants. The warrants state Kamille died by asphyxiation by suffocation on 12 October 2019, the night she went missing.
Stallworth has no idea why he is charged with with Kamille’s murder. He told the judge: “I don’t understand why I was charged with murder of this child.”
Judge Jones told Stallworth that his lawyer will explain the charges to him and that the state will present evidence against him at the preliminary hearing, if he chooses to have one. Stallworth said he plans to hire his own attorney.
