Break in cold case leads to 39-year-old man, now facing murder charge in L.A. Juvenile Court

At a Juvenile Court hearing this week in East Lost Angeles, sheriff's deputies led shackled defendants into a courtroom reserved for youths accused of serious crimes. Most were baby-faced teenagers wearing orange jumpsuits. Then they brought out a 39-year-old father of four. The man, Victor Perez, is accused of killing a woman in Hollywood in 2003. But because he was 17 at the time, Perez, who has pleaded not guilty, is being prosecuted as a juvenile - at least for now.
