The 17-year-old Fort Ann boy accused of shooting and killing his 14-year-old friend will be prosecuted as an adult in criminal court – not family court. WNYT reports the judge’s decision spells out the legal reasons for keeping the case against a 17-year-old accused of shooting and killing 14-year-old Rycky Stark Jr. in criminal court. It’s namely that there was sufficient evidence the defendant caused significant injury and that he displayed a deadly weapon.
