The motion seeks a remand of the case to juvenile court. White was certified to stand trial as an adult on felony charges at a hearing in December. The boy’s attorneys claim the hearing was not properly conducted and called the president of the Boys and Girls Town of Missouri to testify Friday morning regarding a placement option for the court.
The Jasper County prosecutor’s office objected to the testimony and remains opposed to any remand of the case not based on legal defect of the certification hearing. Circuit Judge David Mouton indicated he will resume listening to arguments this afternoon.
According to Jasper County Circuit Court records, the hearing concluded this afternoon with the defense asking to have until July 6 to provide more documentation to the court to back its request to have White returned to juvenile court.
Details from this afternoon's session will be posted on Room 210 News when they are available.
