Judge to announce whether Larosa to be tried as adult at 11 a.m.
WARREN — Judge Sandra Stabile Harwood of Trumbull County Juvenile Court will announce her decision at an 11 a.m. hearing today regarding whether Jacob Larosa, 16, will be tried as an adult in the March 31 beating death of Larosa's neighbor, Marie Belcastro, 94.
Four days of hearings took place last week in juvenile court to allow Atty. Rob Kokor, who represents Larosa, to argue why Larosa's case should remain in the juvenile-justice system.
Chris Becker, assistant Trumbull County prosecutor, represented Trumbull County Prosecutor Dennis Watkins, who said he felt Larosa should be tried as an adult.
