A circuit court judge in St. Louis has ruled that a 15-year-old accused of killing a St. Louis police officer should stand trial as an adult. Antonio Alexander Andrews, who is suspected in the August 15th shooting of rookie Officer Norvelle Brown, has been charged with first-degree murder and now faces the possibility of life in prison without parole.

In making the decision, Judge Thomas Frawley ruled the teenager is "beyond rehabilitation under the juvenile code."
