A Broward county judge on Monday denied bond for a 17-year-old suspect in the beating death of a homeless man last week. The other suspect's hearing was delayed one day.
The judge, Steven DeLuca, also ordered Thomas Daugherty held for 21 days under juvenile detention and signed an order for a psychological examination of the Plantation youth. Daugherty is being treated as a juvenile, prosecutors have not yet formally announced whether the teen will be charged as a juvenile or an adult.
