From the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:
“In the latest twist in a case being watched by juvenile justice experts nationwide, Superior Court Judges Judith Ference Olson and Cheryl Lynn Allen on Friday formed a majority, agreeing with defense arguments that Jordan, who claims innocence, cannot lose his bid to be tried as a juvenile for not saying he is remorseful. The judges vacated the lower court ruling and ordered that another hearing be held to determine whether Jordan should be tried as an adult or a juvenile.”
And the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review:
“The Superior Court ruling, filed Friday, does not decide whether Brown should be tried as a juvenile, said Nils Fredricksen, a spokesman for the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office, which is prosecuting the case. ‘The ruling does not say this case must be tried in juvenile court. The matter needs to be tried according to state law. We will follow the court’s directive in this case,’ he said.”
