Maine's top court ruled that 16-year-old Atilio Delgado must be tried as an adult in a 2022 murder case.

The Maine Supreme Judicial Court has denied Atilio Delgado's request to be tried as a juvenile. Delgado, 16 at the time, is accused of killing James Cluney in 2022. His lawyers argued that his actions were driven by post-traumatic stress from child abuse, but the court decided he should be tried as an adult due to concerns about public safety. If convicted, Delgado could face 25 years to life in prison.
