FORT LAUDERDALE - A Broward county judge on Monday refused to release 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.

Such scumbags...let's hope they never take a free step again.
Thomas Daugherty, 17, covers his face during a court hearing.
Bury these turds under the jail.
Ditto!
Adult enough to club a helpless man to death = adult enough to stand trial in an adult court.
Bunch of obnoxious drunks.
The 17 year old will be out in a year. The 18 year old might get 5 or 10 at most.
My prediction.
I hope you're wrong. I think its gotten too much national attention for any judge or jury to give these monsters a slap on the wrist for murder and attempted murder.
