"Timothy Hudson's trial on charges of first-degree murder and aggravated sexual abuse will start June 1 in Miami, U.S. District Judge Beth Bloom said in an order Monday."
"The cause of Kepner's Nov. 6 death was determined to be mechanical asphyxia, which is when an object or physical force stops someone from breathing."
"Kepner's father, Christopher Kepner, released a statement, saying the family was placing trust in the justice system to pursue the truth with care and integrity."
"At her memorial service in November, family members encouraged people to wear bright colors instead of the traditional black in honor of Anna's bright and beautiful soul."
Timothy Hudson, a 16-year-old, faces trial for first-degree murder and aggravated sexual abuse of his stepsister, Anna Kepner, on June 1 in Miami. Initially charged as a juvenile, the case was moved to adult court after he entered a not guilty plea. Anna's body was discovered concealed under a bed on the Carnival Horizon cruise ship, with the cause of death determined to be mechanical asphyxia. Her family expressed trust in the justice system during this painful time.
