COEUR d’ALENE — Eldon Samuel III, a 15-year-old accused of murdering his father and brother in March, did not enter a plea at his arraignment hearing in Kootenai County District Court Monday.

Kootenai County Public Defender John Adams told the judge he advised Samuel, who is being charged as an adult, to remain silent because he plans to advocate for the case to be moved to juvenile court.
