Teen Girl Charged in 9-Year-Old's Murder

'The police had already searched the area, but the body had been "very well concealed," White told The Associated Press. The suspect, a minor, will appear in a concealed court hearing today to determine whether she will be held behind bars or released into her family's custody until the next hearing.

"It will be the judge's obligation to look at the individual and look at her, excuse me, look at the juvenile's circumstances," said Samantha Green of Cole County Juvenile Detention.

"I would ask that they wait, that they listen to the facts as they come out and not judge quickly," Valentine said. "Learn about this person, learn about this child. You're dealing with a child."'

I agree one shouldn't rush to judgment. However I doubt there'd be this kind of call to circumspection from both the suspect's lawyer AND law enforcement if the suspect were a boy.
