Amy Coney Barrett, a Novice Judge, Will Preside Over a Felony Murder Case Involving a 14-Year-Old Boy
Amy Coney Barrett, a novice judge in the Hartford County Superior Court family law division, will preside over a felony murder case involving a 14-year-old boy.
Barrett, who has been on the bench for less than a year, will have to decide whether to try the boy as an adult or a juvenile.
The case is a high-profile one, and it will be closely watched by legal experts and the public. Barrett's decision will have a major impact on the boy's life, and it could also set a precedent for other cases involving juvenile defendants.
Barrett is a graduate of Notre Dame Law School, and she clerked for Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. She is considered to be a rising star in the legal community, and her appointment to the bench was praised by both Republicans and Democrats.
However, Barrett's lack of experience in criminal law has raised some concerns. She has never tried a felony case before, and she has limited experience with juvenile defendants.
Despite these concerns, Barrett is confident that she can handle the case. She said in a statement that she is "committed to giving this case the fair and impartial trial that it deserves."
The trial is scheduled to begin on September 19.
