14-year-old will be charged as an adult

A 14-year-old Vinita teen will have to grow up quickly.

That's because Koalten Orr is accused of murdering his stepmother and now he will be tried as an adult.

A judge had previously granted youthful offender status for Orr, which means he could be released at 18 and a half years old. However, the Court of Criminal Appeals overturned the ruling and now Orr will face arraignment in 2018.

Orr allegedly fatally shot Laura Beth Hendrix.

Do you think it’s right for someone so young to be charged as an adult?  Let us know in the comments.
