TAYLOR, Mich. (FOX 2) A teen girl accused of murdering her younger sister in Taylor is due in court Tuesday for a bond hearing.

This comes after the Wayne County Prosecutor decided to charge the 13-year-old with adult designation last week. The teen, who is not being named because of her age, was originally charged as a juvenile, but Prosecutor Kym Worthy added the adult designation due to “other facts discovered in the case.”

Being charged with adult designation does not mean a minor is charged as an adult. However, if convicted, a judge can decide to sentence the suspect as a juvenile, as an adult, or a combination of the two. Also, if the suspect is sentenced as a minor and does not improve, the judge can impose an adult sentence on her.
