CHARDON, Ohio - The 17-year-old charged in the school shooting deaths of three students at Chardon High School is in front of a judge right now.
A prosecutor is arguing that T.J. Lane should face trial as an adult, instead of a juvenile.

So far, several members of the Chardon Police Department and Geauga County Sheriff's Department have taken the stand. They answered questions surrounding the events of the day at Chardon High School.
Three students lost thier lives in the school shooting. The decision about Lane's future rests with Juvenile Court Judge Timothy Grendell.
Lane could face life in prison if he's tried in adult court and convicted. Minors are not eligible for the death penalty in Ohio.
A psychiatrist has testified Lane suffers from hallucinations, psychosis and fantasies.
Authorities say Lane has admitted taking a pistol to Chardon High School and firing at students sitting at a cafeteria table at the school, which is east of Cleveland.
The motive for the Feb. 27 shooting remains unclear.
