Teen to be tried as adult in grandmother slaying
Lawrence teenager Jacred Long, 17, will face a first degree murder charge as an adult after a judge ruled in Monday proceedings. Long was 16 when authorities say he killed his 67 year old grandmother Deborah Bretthauer at her 1200 George Court apartment on December 28, with traumatic injuries. The case began in juvenile court but prosecutors moved to upgrade the charge in March. A September two day hearing examined Long's mental health and conduct. Judge Kay Huff then took the matter under advisement.
