Teen Sentenced for the Brutal Murder of His Parents

On Monday, 19-year-old Ethan Orton was sentenced to a maximum of life in prison with the chance for parole after 50 years for the 2021 slayings of his parents. He pleaded guilty in February to two counts of first-degree murder for stabbing his parents with a knife, followed by an axe when he realized his mother was still alive after the initial attack.

Iowa state law requires first-degree murder convictions to be mandatory life sentences in prison without any option for parole. However, due to Orton being a minor and five months away from turning 18, a precedent set by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2012 and later upheld by Iowa’s highest court in 2016 preserved his hope for parole in the future by outlawing sentences of life without parole for juveniles.

During the sentencing hearing, Orton’s defense attorney suggested a life sentence in prison with the possibility of parole in 10 years. He mentioned Orton’s parents’ emotional abuse of their son over the years and their plan to cut ties with him once he reached adulthood.

Meanwhile, the prosecutors focused on Orton, revealing that he had never been diagnosed with any mental illness and emphasizing how his premeditated plan, which included laying out his weapons in advance and waiting for his parents to sleep before carrying out the attack, demonstrated rational thought.

Judge Thornhill concluded the sentencing by considering Orton’s nearly 18 age, no physical or sexual abuse, and the planned and cruel nature of the attack to set a 50-year minimum turn for parole.

Orton later declared to the court that he was resigned to what he’d done, and according to the criminal complaint, he had promptly confessed to killing his parents, and the police found the bodies in the family house. His mother’s email that mentioned them cutting him out of their life allegedly triggered the violent attack.

The double murder of Orton’s parents is a severe tragedy that will haunt the affected community and the family for a long time.

Jordanian guards bar religious Jews from entering country, throw kippah into trash can

Delegation of Israeli municipal leaders say they were forced to undergo extensive searches for concealed Jewish garb at Jordanian border, with several members ultimately forced to return to Israel.

By World Israel News Staff

Border guards in Jordan barred members of an Israeli delegation from entering the country Tuesday after they were found to be in possession of traditional Jewish articles of clothing, including yarmulkes and tzitziot (a tasseled, four-cornered ritual garment), Israel Hayom reported Wednesday.

The delegation, which was organized for an educational tour of Jordan, was made up of senior municipal officials from cities and regional councils across Israel.

The participating officials were slated to cross into Jordan at the Yitzhak Rabin Crossing in Eilat, adjacent to the Jordanian city of Aqaba, when guards on the Jordanian side of the border insisted on thoroughly examining the delegation members for any possible hidden Jewish religious items.

According to participants cited in the report, the Jordanian border guards ordered the delegation members to lift up their shirts, so that border officials could see if they were wearing tzitziot.

While the delegation members had agreed not to openly wear Jewish clothing items at the border, they did not anticipate the refusal of border officials to even allow them to retain such items in their luggage.

All delegation members with yarmulkes, tzitziot, or any other visibly Jewish clothing items were ordered to surrender them to border officials or be barred entry into the Hashemite kingdom.

One member of the delegation reported that a border official took his yarmulke and threw it in a garbage can.

At least two of the delegation members, the directors-general of Modi’in Illit and the Binyamin Regional Council in Samaria, refused to comply with the Jordanian border guards’ demands and returned to Eilat.

“We wanted to put the tzitziot and kippot away in our bags, but they didn’t agree,” a delegation member told Israel Hayom. “We were instructed to collect [all the Jewish items] and return them to Eilat. It’s so shameful; if we would have done something like this at the Israeli border or the entrance to the Temple Mount and said there was no problem so long as you leave behind any religious items, the whole world would have condemned us.”

This is not the first time Jewish visitors to Jordan have reported harassment by border guards.

In September 2022, tourists entering the country were told that Jewish religious items, including prayer shawls and phylacteries, were “illegal.”

“The Simon Wiesenthal Center has received numerous complaints of harassment, attempted confiscations by Jordanian officials of these basic religious items that millions of Jews don each morning during their prayers,” Rabbi Marvin Hier, founder of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, and Rabbi Abraham Cooper, Associate Dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, said in a joint statement.

“Security officials the world over know that these holy items pose no security threat whatsoever. Some travelers have reported they were told that it is illegal to bring these holy items into Jordan.”
