Two teens charged as adults in connection with a knife attack and robbery in 2021 at Lynch Field in Greensburg will be prosecuted in juvenile court. Westmoreland County Common Pleas Court Judge Christopher Feliciani, following a brief hearing on Thursday, ruled a private evaluation determined Jackson Jeffrey Martin, 18, of Hempfield, and Janis Biller, 17, of Hunker, were amenable to rehabilitation in the juvenile justice system and approved the transfer to remove the prosecutions from the adult courts.
The transfer means if convicted, Martin and Biller cannot be kept in custody or under court supervision beyond their 21st birthdays.
