A mental health evaluation of a New Stanton teen accused of murdering his mother and brother remains incomplete, forcing a judge to postpone a status conference scheduled for Friday.

Westmoreland County Judge Chris Feliciani ordered the proceeding continued until January after District Attorney John Peck and Public Defender Wayne McGrew told him that Dr. Bruce Wright, a Bethel Park psychiatrist, hasn't completed the mental health evaluation of Jacob R. Remaley, who was 14 at the time of the Nov. 30 murders.

http://triblive.com/local/westmoreland/13224193-74/lawyer-wants-new-stanton-teen-accused-of-killing-his-mother-brother-tried

The attorney for a teenager accused of killing his mother and younger brother at their New Stanton home in late 2016 said Thursday his client should be prosecuted in juvenile court.

Jacob Remaley, now 15, is awaiting trial as an adult on two counts of criminal homicide and other related offenses in connection with the shooting death of his 46-year-old mother, Dana, and 8-year-old brother, Caleb.

Common Pleas Court Judge Christopher Feliciani tentatively scheduled a hearing on the defense request for Feb. 28. The judge also ordered the lawyers to exchange mental health reports next week in preparation for that hearing.

Multiple personalities drove teen to kill mom, brother in New Stanton, expert says

On Thursday, attorneys presented arguments before Westmoreland County Common Pleas Judge Christopher Feliciani over whether the case should be moved to juvenile court , where punishment could focus more on psychological treatment but jurisdiction would end when Jacob turns 21.

Feliciani gave both sides 20 days to submit additional materials and arguments before he rules.

A New Stanton teenager was under the influence of a split personality he called “Wrath” when he shot and killed his mother and brother in November 2016, a psychologist testified Thursday.
