The lawyer for the teen accused of killing Lily Peters says it’s unfortunate that the case is taking so long.
Prosecutors are asking the judge in the case to speed things up, they say delaying a decision on whether the suspect will be charged as an adult is delaying justice for Lily’s family. But the suspect’s lawyer said the next hearing date, in August of next year, is the first time when he, the judge, and the D.A. can all be together in the same courtroom. Lily was killed last April.
