BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Buffalo teenagers accused of beating and stabbing a man to death appeared in court Wednesday.
It was standing-room-only in Buffalo City Court as 17-year-old Alexandria Heath and 19-year-old Romaine Jirdon waived their right to a felony hearing.
The two are charged with second-degree murder, accused of killing Alexandria Heath's father, 58-year-old Thomas Heath.
Police say it happened Friday night in Heath's West Ferry Street home.
Earlier in the week, the two pleaded not guilty.
If convicted, the defendants face a maximum of 25 years to life in prison.
The case will now go to a grand jury.
