Defense attorneys for the accused triple murderer in a Seward neighborhood grocery are asking the court to pay for a trip to Africa to certify that their client is under 17 years of age, a critical watermark that will make it much more difficult to try him in the adult court system. After being passed between relatives and adoptive parents, several different dates of birth have been presented for the suspect at various points of immigration to the US.
