When criticized by the boy's attorney for questioning him without a lawyer present, the detective said that the suspect had offered up (no less than ten times) that he did not know what his friends were going to do before it happened.
The detective also said that the boy admitted he picked up a red-handled knife and handed it to one of his friends before Tessa was stabbed to death (after she refused to hand over her property).
The judge denied the defense's request to have the suspect released to his aunt and uncle, stating that the suspect admitted to having the intent to participate in a robbery and that there was a high probability of re-offending.
The suspect will remain in juvenile detention until at least January 2nd, when the next hearing is scheduled.
