The Supreme Court in Delaware has overturned a ruling that found a teen guilty of criminally negligent homicide in the beating-related death of Amy Inita Joyner-Francis in April, 2016.
Trinity Carr was 17 when she was found guilty last year of criminally negligent homicide and third-degree criminal conspiracy in an attack on Joyner-Francis in a school bathroom, The News Journal reported. A Family Court judge ruled on Carr’s culpability after Joyner-Francis died when a rare and undetected heart condition caused her to go into cardiac arrest in the aftermath of the fight.
