A trial has been scheduled for two of the three girls charged in connection with the death of 16-year-old Howard High student Amy Joyner-Francis last month.
The News Journal reports a June 15th Family Court trial date was set Thursday after the girls’ attorneys waived arraignment hearings originally scheduled for Thursday morning.
Zion Snow and Chakeira Wright face third-degree criminal conspiracy charges and up to one year in prison.
Trinity Carr, the only girl seen punching Joyner-Francis in a video, faces a charge of criminally negligent homicide.
Her case will be reviewed in Family Court on May 31st. Prosecutors want to try her as an adult in the Superior Court, where she’d face up to eight years in prison.
The state medical examiner determined Joyner-Francis’s did not die from injuries sustained in the fight, but cardiac arrest associated with a pre-existing heart condition - a condition strained by the fight.
