A state appeals court has upheld the decision to try the teenager accused of killing Lily Peters in adult court.
The ruling, issued yesterday, mandates that the now 16-year-old suspect face adult charges for the 2022 crime, which occurred when the teen was 14.
The trial has been delayed due to ongoing legal disputes over jurisdiction.
Prosecutors are pushing for an adult trial, citing the severity of the crime.
Defense attorneys for the teenager have indicated they may file another appeal.
