A stern-faced 13-year-old boy sat quietly as a Michigan Judge ordered he remain in juvenile detention until he reaches the age of 21. DeMarco Harris sat in the courtroom convicted in the shooting death of a 24-year-old woman during a robbery. The 24-year-old woman was murdered inside her parked car in Detroit on August 1, 2009.
The minor will remain in juvenile detention until he is 21 years old. After his 21st birthday, he will be re-evaluated by the court. Depending on the court’s findings, Harris will either be released from custody or sentenced as an adult to life in prison without the possibility of parole. If Harris is convicted of a felony while he is in custody, he will automatically be sentenced as an adult to life in prison.
