Baby K to face adult trial for Prince George's County school bus shooting attempt
A decision has been made in the case of Baby K - the teenager accused of trying to kill a student on a Prince George's County school bus.
"We believe that that was the most appropriate place given his history, as well as the seriousness of the crimes that he's alleged to have committed," Braveboy said. "We worked hard to put together a strong case around why he should remain in adult court and the judge agreed with our position."
The hearing took three days with the main question being whether his case should be sent to the juvenile courts. A judge decided Thursday that Holland's case would stay in adult court.
