The Lexington Herald-Leader reported that District Judge Henria Bailey-Lewis acquitted the juvenile at her trial on Monday. The girl’s name has not been released because she was 17 in April, when the alleged crime occurred. Her trial was closed, but her attorney, Sharon K. Allen Gay, said she received permission to release information about the verdict. The teen and two 18-year-old friends, Corinne Schwab and Ashley Sams, were charged in April with attempted murder and kidnapping in a case involving Cheyenne Williams. The trial for Schwab and Sams, is scheduled for Thursday.
