Teen to Face Judge in Deadly Assault of Classmate at Delaware High School

A teenage girl accused in a deadly assault of her high school classmate is expected to face a judge in Delaware on Monday.

The 16-year-old girl is charged with negligent homicide in the death of Amy Joyner-Francis, also 16, who died after she was beaten in a bathroom at Howard High School of Technology in Wilmington in April.

Two other teenage girls also face charges in Joyner-Francis' death. NBC10 is not naming the suspects because they are juveniles.

The judge on Monday will weigh whether the teen charged with homicide should face trial in a higher court.
