Dayle Jeffs has filed a motion with the juvenile court charging the youth committed a crime which, if done by an adult, would be considered first degree murder. He asks that the youth be bound over to Fourth District Court to be tried as an adult. The hearing today was to consider that motion. According to Juvenile Court Judge J. Monroe Paxroan, the youth could be tried as a juvenile in juvenile court, or, if the court decides it would be in the best interest of society and the youth, he could be tried as an adult in district court. 4 w jSt?'
