Hearing for teenagers who were accused in Toledo dragged death

Toledo, Ohio (WTVG) – In the case of three teenagers who were accused, the emotions ran over a pair of shoes.

The teenagers faced judge Amy Stoner on Thursday, who had all strictly warned in the courtroom.

Judge Stoner didn't like what happened before entering her courtroom and taking over the bank.

“I will first note that I was disrupted in this courtroom before entering this courtroom. I will find that I will only allow the families of the accused and the mother and father of the victim in the courtroom if this continues or flows up,” said judge Amy Stoner.

The mind flammed between the victim's families and the suspects.

“I don't understand what they would get upset about us, their babies killed our baby,” said Joaquin Simmons cousin.

The prosecutor informed the judge that the papers that teenagers had been submitted as adults had been submitted. Now she is working on providing the defenders in this case.

“This is a big case that contains a large volume of information,” said youthful prosecutor Patricia Wardrop.

The students of the Springfield High School are accused due to the severe murder of Joaquin Simmons's death, also known as WAK.

In March, the police reacted to strings and Mulberry to reports on a robbery.

They found Simmons on the street.

He suffered a traumatic brain injury and died in the hospital a few days later.

The investigators said Simmons met with the other teenagers to sell shoes on Facebook marketplace. A dispute over the price broke out.

One of the suspects supposedly grabbed the shoes of Simmons and packed Simmons on the hair when the driver dragged and dragged the WAK along the street.

Outside of the youthful court building, the family of the victim kept signs and screamed: “Justice for WAK”.

His cousin, who did not want to show her face, said she missed him very much.

“His laugh and hugs,” she said.

Judge Amy Stoner also banned the woman from the courtroom after making a comment.

“It is already an emotional roller coaster ride, but if you mourn and someone has been murdered in front of you. Then you will sit here and pretend you haven't done what you did. It is a completely different kind of roller coaster. I don't care about being banned,” she said.

The defenders asked the judge to publish the teenagers, but their application was rejected.
