Fred Goings pleaded not guilty today to charges of murdering his ex-girlfriend Nova Henry and her 10-month-old daughter, Ava. Nova and Ava were killed in Nova's condo on January 24 of this year; three-year-old son Noah was found unharmed in the condo with the bodies and is alleged to have named Fred as the shooter. Goings' attorney, John Lyke, also withdrew from the case, claiming Goings - himself an attorney - could not afford his services. Nova is the ex-girlfriend of ex-Chicago Bull (and current NY Knick) player Eddy Curry, and both Ava and Noah are Curry's biological children. [Sun-Times]

I find it VERY difficult to believe a 3 yr old identified a mugshot or something in this case without prior influence by prosecutors and or police.
As do I, hence "is alleged to have." Family members told police that Noah said that to them, so, at best, it's hearsay. Though the child was familiar with Goings since Goings was Nova's ex-boyfriend.
Not unheard of if you saw the whole thing, unfortunately. I'm sure he knew who it was.
I've heard of a 3-year old who actually got his mom's gun from the "hidden spot" and SHOT his abusive stepfather (who was beating his mother at the time) dead. His mom tried to cover for him, but they interviewed the child and he said "Nope, I did it, and I'm glad he's dead. He shouldn't have been beating on my mom."
Nothing surprises me anymore.
