If she gets charged she won't do much time as she is a minor ... and apparently did not pull the trigger. I understand they may be pressuring her with this to testify against him.
The article said a 14-year-old can be charged as an adult under PA. law. Can't get the death penalty, though.
I wouldn't think they need her to testify against him. He's confessed. They found the murder weapon under the front seat of his car. Kara's younger sister saw him shoot her father and reported so to police.
I think they are just trying to figure out what she should be charged with.
Testify to what? The boy has already confessed to the crime, and one of her siblings was an eyewitness to the shootings.
