A judgment on whether the teenager, who is alleged to have taken the life of 10-year-old Lily Peters, will face trial as an adult in Chippewa County is anticipated to come in the following year.
The recent hearing in the matter concluded yesterday; however, the judge indicated that a decision is not likely until January.
Legal representatives for the individual, now 15 years old, who stands accused of the crime and responsible for Peters’ tragic passing, are advocating for the transfer of the case to juvenile court.
The wait for the verdict marks the latest in a series of postponements.
The unfortunate incident involving Peters occurred in April of the prior year, and the trial for the accused, which could potentially commence two years after her untimely death, is now on the horizon.
