The court procedure was called a first appearance, even though the suspect, Te’bryis Robinson, has appeared before judges before in the case.

Last month, a judge ruled that Robinson should be tried as an adult in the death of 14-year-old TrenJ’vious Hutton.

On Monday, a judge read the charges against Robinson:

  • Murder in the first degree
  • Criminal use of a weapon

Last March, when Robinson was 17, a judge ruled he should be tried as an adult . The charges were first-degree murder and criminal use of a weapon.

But in June, the case was sent back to juvenile court due to “a deficiency in the record.” It again became an adult case last month .
