ST. JOHNS, Ariz. - An 8-year-old boy accused of killing his father and another man in eastern Arizona will be allowed to spend Thanksgiving with his biological mother.

Judge Michael Roca on Wednesday agreed to allow the boy to leave juvenile detention from noon on Nov. 26 until noon on Nov. 28. The judge's decision came over the objection of prosecutors.

Defense attorney Ronald Wood said the boy is not doing well in detention and has been having trouble sleeping. He said it was important that the boy ``have somebody to talk to.''

Although the boy is allowed time to visit with his mother, stepmother, a grandmother and an aunt, Wood said that time is limited.

The boy faces two counts of murder in the Nov. 5 deaths of his father, Vincent Romero, and Timothy Romans, who was renting a room in the family's home in St. Johns.

The judge says that if the boy doesn't return to detention on time, arrest warrants will be issued for him and his mother.

Roca ordered that there be no guns or knives in the home while the boy is free.

Until the killings, the boy was living with his father and stepmother.

News-Talk 92.3 KTAR's Kevin Tripp, attended Wednesday's hearing, and said there's one item the judge, defense and prosecution all agree on: they don't like the conduct of the news media.

The judge issued an order that all public records are to be issued as transcripts, in an attempt to protect the boy's identity. Additional DVDs will not be released, and, he said, if the minor's image appears on TV, someone might go to jail.

The boy's face was already briefly shown on Channel 3 and on CNN, according to the judge. Lawyers for The Arizona Republic and Channel 12 tried to get the judge to lift the court's gag order.

Recording equipment was allowed in the courtroom for Wednesday's hearing, but cameras and/or live broadcasting were prohibited. On Thursday, there will additional hearings to determine who has custodial rights of the child.

The hearing comes a day after the Apache County prosecutor's office released a police interview with the boy in which he admits to firing at least two shots each at Romero and Romans.

On Wednesday, Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano called the double murder "horrible" and "terrible."

"It's a horrible, tragic situation," said Napolitano. "It's now in the criminal justice system, and we have to rely on the system to try to do the right thing."

Napolitano added, "The community of St. Johns is a very close-knit community and the impact up there has just been huge. It's a terrible, terrible case."

The governor commented in Phoenix, while the media descended upon St. Johns after authorities released a video tape in which the 8-year-old talked about the deaths of his father and another man.

The tape showed officers who interviewed the boy emphasizing the importance of telling the truth and saying that, if he was dishonest, "it ain't going to look good."

"Sweetie, we need to know the truth," Apache County sheriff's Cmdr. Matrese Avila told the boy during the hour-long interview released Tuesday. ``It's important. We have to know because what's going to happen is the police are going to find out.''

The boy gave police conflicting accounts of the day of the shootings, initially declaring, ``I wasn't shooting any guns,'' before admitting to firing at least two shots each at his father, Vincent Romero, 29, and Timothy Romans, 39, who was renting a room in their home.

As the interview wrapped up, the law enforcement officials commended the boy for telling the truth as he buried his head in his jacket.

``It was a bad choice, wasn't it?'' asked St. Johns police Detective Debbie Neckel.

But the boy's attorney, Benjamin Brewer, has said police overreached in their questioning of the boy, who was not represented by a family member or lawyer during the morning after the Nov. 5 shootings.

``I think they're going to have a problem getting that statement into court,'' Brewer said earlier this month before a judge issued a gag order in the case. ``I believe there were many violations in regards to how it was obtained.''

Sitting in an oversized chair, his feet dangling over the floor, the boy initially told law enforcement officials that he found the bodies of his father and Romans when he returned home from school.

``I was thinking, 'What the heck is going on?''' the boy said in the video released to The Associated Press and other media. ``'Who did this? Why would anyone do this?'''

The boy eventually admits to having pulled the trigger.

``I'm going to go to juvie,'' the boy says after an officer asks what he's thinking.

At one point, the boy told authorities that he had been mad at his father. He said he was supposed to bring home some papers from school earlier in the week and got spanked by his stepmother at his father's request because he didn't.

Police say the boy used a .22-caliber rifle to commit the killings in St. Johns, about 170 miles northeast of Phoenix, as his father and his co-worker, Romans, came home from work. The boy's stepmother wasn't home.

Photos of the crime scene, released Tuesday by the Apache County prosecutor's office, showed Romans sprawled on the front porch. Romero, dressed in a plaid jacket, boots and a construction helmet, was photographed face down on the stairs leading up to the second floor of the home. Both men have pools of blood around their heads.

During the interview, the boy's accounts of the shootings change from him never having touched a gun, to throwing one he found in the home in a closet, to shooting at a car he said was speeding away from the house.

He maintained initially that someone else had shot the men first and that he shot his father to keep him from suffering, and Romans because ``he was shaking.''

During another section of the video, the officers explained to the boy that if he had touched the gun, a lab would find his fingerprints. If he had shot the gun, they said gun powder residue would be found on his clothing. The officers told the boy that evidence showed that Romans and Romero were shot with a single gun.

The boy later admitted to shooting the men at least twice each, reloading the gun at times.

In the video, the boy initially said that he handled guns only when he and his father went shooting together, targeting rabbits and birds. He later said he sometimes played with guns that were in the house and that he felt bad about not telling his dad.

Police Chief Roy Melnick has said the boy planned and methodically carried out the shootings, but the boy gave no indication in the interview that he had been thinking about shooting his father.

Melnick also has said that police had found no signs of abuse in the home.
