Both teens charged in the fatal assault of a man at the Great Frederick Fair in September will remain in juvenile detention as the investigation into whether they will be tried as adults continues, a judge ruled Tuesday.
The teens, brothers aged 15 and 16, both appeared for a petition for waiver hearing before Frederick County Circuit Court Judge Julie Stevenson Solt. Frederick County Assistant State's Attorney Laura Wilt testified that the Maryland Department of Juvenile Services needs more time to complete its investigation, indicating the investigation may not be complete even before the teens' next scheduled hearing on Dec. 18.
Wilt also argued that the teens should remain in custody for the duration of the investigation, citing the serious and violent nature of the crime.
Both teens have remained in juvenile detention since Sept. 20, when Frederick County sheriff's deputies responded to an assault in the midway area of the fairgrounds at 5:36 p.m. and found 59-year-old Mount Airy resident John Weed suffering from serious injuries. Weed was flown to the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore, but died from his injuries the following day, according to previous stories published in The Frederick News-Post.

Lock em up ..punks
They should be sentenced to LIFE in prison. This was a pre mediated murder. They BOTH knew they were going to rob this man. Two little FREAKING ANIMALS. PERIOD!!
A good man.
Two worthless and never-be-anything-except bad little wanna-be tough guys.
Who's side are you on? They killed a good and innocent man in a game.
Hang them. too.
Think of how much society would save and benefit just by hanging those two....
Try them as adults an if found guilty give them life in prison with no parole.
Maryland doesn't have a death penalty.
"We, the people" don't need any authority or permission to institute the death penalty, regardless of whether or not the law says it's okay.
I prefer not to have tax money used to incarcerate them, pay for endless appeals, TV's, weight training, and room and board.
They took a life in a game and we are supposed to be NICE to them???
You want them in YOUR neighborhood, right??
LOL.
Kill them.
Northwest Woodsman: The least complicated solution, I find, is always the best and the most expeditious. All one needs is a rope and a tree to maintain one of mans best deterrents.
Maryland needs the death penalty
I like the way you're thinking Northwest Woodsman
