What we know about the 15-year-old charged with murder of 13-year-old in Powell
SUMMARY: A juvenile court hearing regarding a murder case in Knox County involved a 15-year-old suspect accused of stabbing a 13-year-old girl to death on a public trail. The judge ensured the victim’s name was redacted to protect her grieving family’s privacy. The court is contemplating whether to keep the case in juvenile court or transfer it to adult court, which could lead to more severe sentencing. This decision will depend on the crime’s severity. Cases like this often remain in juvenile court for rehabilitation, but violent crimes may warrant harsher punishment in adult court. Updates on the case are forthcoming.
The Knox County Juvenile Court judge ordered the redaction of the victim’s name from court records. The 15-year-old is facing a second-degree murder charge.
