Teen charged in kidnapping case that prompted Amber Alert in July

The teen faces four charges, including one count of kidnapping and one count of taking hostages.

spectrumnews1.com

December 2, 2025

*****
The 14-year-old faces four charges related to the kidnapping of 7-year-old Jamal D. White on Friday, July 11, while White was riding his bike outside:

• One felony count of kidnapping without consent, use of a dangerous weapon — party to a crime
• One felony count of taking hostages released without bodily harm, use of a dangerous weapon — party to a crime
• One felony count of possessing a firearm by adjudicated delinquent of a felony
• One misdemeanor count of possessing a dangerous weapon by a person younger than 18

His initial court appearance was Dec. 1. A cash bond was set at $100,000.

*****
If found guilty of the kidnapping charge or the taking hostages charge, he faces up to 40 years and 6 months in prison and fines up to $100,000 for each of the two charges. If found guilty of the firearm charge, he faces up to 10 years in prison and fines up to $25,000. If found guilty of the dangerous weapon charge, he faces up to nine months in prison and up to $10,000 in fines.

*****
A preliminary hearing was scheduled for the teen on Dec. 8.

I had another case with a juvenile in WI - and they put his initials in the court site. Does this juvenile have initials anywhere in the article? I can not access as it is "Forbidden" in my region.
Also - I noticed back posts that the Judge was going to determine if this juvenile was going to be tried as adult - has that happened yet?
TIA if anyone can help.
