Missouri AG says juvenile system must be reformed after teen arrested for slamming girl’s head into pavement

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has called on the state’s juvenile justice system to be reformed after a teen slammed a girl’s head into the pavement near a high school last Friday during a violent brawl that was caught on video. Bailey was interviewed on the local radio program Wake Up Mid-Missouri Monday morning to discuss the brutal assault that sent a teen girl to the hospital in critical condition.

Over the weekend, Bailey said the suspect in Friday’s violent brawl should be tried as an adult and charged with murder if the offense rose to a homicide.
