Teen suspect in Ohio school slayings due in court
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A prosecutor in northeast Ohio is ready to argue that a 17-year-old charged in the school shooting deaths of three students should face trial as an adult.
Geauga (jee-AW'-guh) County Prosecutor David Joyce is scheduled to outline the case against T.J. Lane at a hearing Thursday.
The decision rests with Juvenile Court Judge Timothy Grendell.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Lane could face life in prison if he's tried in adult court and convicted. Minors are not eligible for the death penalty in Ohio.
A psychiatrist has testified Lane suffers from hallucinations, psychosis and fantasies.
Authorities say Lane has admitted taking a pistol to Chardon High School and firing at students sitting at a cafeteria table at the school, which is east of Cleveland. The motive for the Feb. 27 shooting remains unclear.
