YOUNGSTOWN A telephone pretrial hearing today in Mahoning County Juvenile Court revealed that prosecutors and a defense attorney will be paying a lot of attention to Facebook pages connected to the Sept. 21 shooting death of Rowan Sweeney, 4.
During a hearing on the aggravated robbery charge with a gun specification filed in juvenile court against Brandon Crump, 17, defense attorney Jeffery Kurz and two assistant prosecutors discussed the progress of evidence that prosecutors are gathering and eventually sharing with Kurz.
They discussed two Facebook pages Crump has, which presumably contain information that prosecutors will want to use if the next hearing Jan. 11 goes to a juvenile-court trial.
