The murder case of Lily Peters will remain in adult court. An appeals court made the ruling today.
A 16-year-old boy, identified only as C.P-B, is accused of killing Peters back in April of 2022. He was only 14 at the time. The defense requested for the case to be moved to juvenile court, but a circuit court judge denied the motion. The boy’s attorneys appealed, and in a 22-page decision, the appeals court upheld the decision. It said moving the case to juvenile court would discredit the seriousness of the offense.
