Teen’s Plot
Case Delayed
05/10/08 MRC/AP
Prosecutors
will wait until at least next month to decide whether to
seek adult charges against a South Bend teenager accused
of planning a Columbine style attack on his high school.
A magistrate
on Friday agreed to a request by the boy's attorney and
the deputy prosecutor to continue the case until next
month so psychological tests can be completed on whether
he is a risk to himself or society.
The boy is
charged with a juvenile count of conspiracy to commit
murder.
Authorities at
northern Indiana's Penn High School say the teen had
exchanged e-mails with an Ohio man in which they discussed
mass murders at the same time at the teen's school and at
another location.
