The 15-year-old girl charged with brutally beating Kaylee Gain and leaving her in a coma will not be charged as an adult, a judge has ruled.
The decision followed testimony from a juvenile officer earlier this month, who claimed that Gain, 16, was a serial bully who tormented her attacker, Maurnice Declue, 15.
It was also alleged that Gain initiated the fight and threw the first punch, and was suspended for fighting another girl just the day prior.
On Wednesday, a St. Louis judge followed the officer's recommendation and decided that the case will remain in the juvenile court system.
Gain made national headlines and saw an outpouring of support after footage of her confrontation with Declue outside their school on March 8 went viral.
In the clip, Declue was seen slamming Gain's head into the pavement, which left her in a coma with severe brain injuries, and she only began walking again two months later.
Declue was charged with first-degree assault, and has remained in the juvenile detention system as she waited to hear if she would be tried as an adult.
But on May 10, months after the video circulated widely on social media, a judge heard testimony from the juvenile officer that went against the initial narrative of the fight.

ROFL
Just think of all her fellow juvie inmates that she’s going to give brain damage to...
I hate to have to ask this, but of what persuasion is the juvenile officer? I hope she’s Caucasian, but I’ve seen too many I instances of races sticking together no matter what, according to their race, white and black.
Avoid them. Call me a racist. I don’t care. I want nothing to do with the melanated peoples.
She’s going to be a “hero” in juvie.
Aren't these questions of a fact? Something for a jury to consider at trial? And not something the judge to decide prior to trial?
True
Aren’t these questions of a fact? Something for a jury to consider at trial? And not something the judge to decide prior to trial?
Haven’t you heard??
Judges are the new juries, now.
It’s always that Boo-boo.
More than 2/3rds of them are wonderful people. It's the ghetto trash that gets all the attention and that's really a shame.
Like Chris Rock said, “There’s a civil war going on with black people and there’s two sides: Black people and N____s!”
And the white liberals side with the N_____s.
“Aren’t these questions of a fact? Something for a jury to consider at trial? And not something the judge to decide prior to trial?”
Hearing: A proceeding conducted by the court to resolve issues or fact and/or law. The hearing allows the parties to present evidence in support of their claim.
A hearing takes place before the trial. My understanding is that at a hearing a judge may decide evidence is insufficient and dismiss charges.
I didn’t see where it said so, but this would have been a hearing to decide if the law and the evidence was sufficient for trial as an adult or only as a juvenile.
Any one normal looking black guy I encounter is probably fine, and if he’s not I think I can handle myself.
But put two black guys together, and my spidey sense goes off and I cross the street. No use courting trouble.
John Derbyshire has a different estimate"
A small cohort of blacks” in my experience, around five percent” is ferociously hostile to whites and will go to great lengths to inconvenience or harm us. A much larger cohort of blacks” around half” will go along passively if the five percent take leadership in some event. They will do this out of racial solidarity, the natural willingness of most human beings to be led, and a vague feeling that whites have it coming.

In my own life, I am polite to blacks. I tip them well, as I do all servers. But I don't want to live near them.
This is all for the benefit of the criminal media, who will lap it up.
Jussie Smollett, Bubba Wallace, George Floyd redux.
Chris Rock said this years ago with his "Black People vs *******" routine.
Educated Black folks are not interested in living in the ghetto either.
