Juvenile Paquet Waived to Stand Trial as Adult
In Michigan the 16 year old Eugene Paquet was deemed capable of adult responsibility after a judge in L Anse waived jurisdiction and ordered him to face trial for the slayings of his girlfriend’s father and her 10 year old sister. Carole Tregoff failed to block prosecution in the case of Barbara Finch’s death, with the California appeals court denying a writ. France raised the legal age to 18 for viewing certain films, and Irish President Eamon de Valera marked his 77th birthday in Dublin with family.
