Was thinking the same thing. I suspect something like that to be the case her personally
I had to look it up to make sure, but yes:
| Lower Age: | 10 |
| Upper Age: | 17 |
| Discretionary Waiver | Colo. Rev. Stat. Sec. 19-2-518 |
| The juvenile court may certify a child meeting age/offense criteria for trial as an adult in district court if, after investigation and a hearing, it finds that (1) there is probable cause to believe that the child committed an offense for which judicial waiver is authorized and (2) "it would be contrary to the best interests of the juvenile or of the public to retain jurisdiction." The law lists 14 specific factors to be considered in making the determination. While the presence of certain factors in a case constitutes prima facie evidence in favor of transfer (see Presumptive Waiver), the weight to be given to the various factors is otherwise committed to the court's discretion. Written reports may be considered in making the determination, but at the request of any party the authors must appear and be cross-examined. |
| Offense Category | Minimum Age | Offense Detail |
| Certain Felonies | 12/14 | 12—Class 1 or 2 felony. |
| 14—Any felony. |
| Murder | 12 | Murder, or the conspiracy or attempt to commit murder, where it involves either (1) the use, threatened use, or possession of a deadly weapon or (2) serious bodily injury or death. |
| Person | 12 | Any felonious unlawful sexual offense involving either bodily injury to the victim or the use of threats, intimidation, or force; any of a long list of crimes (first or second degree assault, kidnapping, sexual assault, aggravated robbery, escape, criminal extortion, first degree arson, first degree burglary, and crimes against at-risk adults or at-risk juveniles), if it involves either (1) the use, threatened use, or possession of a deadly weapon; or (2) the causing of serious bodily injury or death. |
Since the description of her body was 'gruesome/horrific'... I hate to think what was done to her.
Was she dismembered or mutilated ?
