Well, I didn't include in the process of deciding whether to try him as an adult or juvenile, his defense has argued the process is violating his 5th Amendment Rights of freedom from self-incrimination.
Basically, the State of Pennsylvania when it comes to capital murder as this case is the accused is automatically tried as an adult. However, his defense has challenged this before the case has begun.
The catch is that in order to try a juvenile as a juvenile, they have to show remorse for the crime, which any good defense lawyer will drag up in the appeals process of violating 5th Amendment Rights. The process in determining whether this kid should be tried as an adult or juvenile, the defense would claim inherently violates the 5th Amendment because having to display remorse implies self-incrimination and guilt.
The kid has shown no remorse and insists he did not commit the crime. Sounds like an adult to me.
