Exclusive | Alleged 14-year-old cop killer can't be tried as adult in NJ - handing him all sorts of perks: expert
Briefly

In New Jersey, a 14-year-old boy accused of killing a police officer will be tried in juvenile court, which means no public trial or jury involvement. Under state law, only those 15 and older can be moved to adult court.

This has raised concerns among law enforcement about the leniency of the justice system in handling serious crimes committed by minors.
