He will be arraigned (the charges read to him) then there will be a preliminary exam (to determine if a crime was committed and if there is probable cause to believe he was the one who did it) then a pretrial (interviews, plea bargaining) then a trial.

He could end up in a juvenile jail, since this is a serious offense. You need to get him a lawyer.

This is a SERIOUS legal matter. He could be facing a lengthy juvenile court incarceration at the least and if he is treated as an adult a lengthy prison term. Obtain a good lawyer immediately.

You need a lawyer right away. He should not make a statement. They can't keep a minor beyond 18 but this is rather serious.

This is a very serious charge where is facing a number of years in prison. He needs to be represented by an experienced criminal attorney to see if there is anyway to mitigate or otherwise challenge his case.

He needs t shut up and you need to obtain counsel for him. He should discuss the matter with no one until after he talks to an attorney.
