DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - A prosecutor and the attorney for a 10-year-old boy who pleaded no contest to beating a homeless veteran asked a judge Tuesday to reject requests to release a taped statement from the boy.
The boy's mental health is at stake and his ability to testify against his co-defendants may be jeopardized if the statement is released, said the child's lawyer, Jonathon Glugover.
"He was already reluctant to give the deposition," Glugover said. "We know he's going to be testifying against his friends. He's already shown a problem with that."
