The Chardon teen accused of gunning down five classmates in a Monday morning rampage at Chardon High School appears in Geagua County Juvenile Court today, but according to Summit County Juvenile Court Judge Linda Teodosio, the case against T.J. Lane probably won't stay there very long.
"It would be a case where if the juvenile court finds probable cause that the youth committed the offenses he is charged with they would be required by law to transfer them to the general division for a trial as an adult," said Teodosio.
Teodosio says today's hearing for Lane will likely involve explaining any charges that have been filed, discussion about whether he should be held and making sure he has legal representation.
Lane cannot be sentenced to death because he is under 18 years old, but Teodosio says any other sanctions available for adults could be levied against him if he is found guilty.
