A prosecutor in Augusta says the case against two teenagers accused of throwing a metal tent pole at their father's head and killing him will be turned over to juvenile court, according to the Associated Press. Authorities had said earlier the two could be charged with murder, but District Attorney Danny Craig says instead the two will be charged as juveniles. Troy Powell, Sr., died Monday of his injuries in the incident, which happened on October 23. His sons say they were involved in a confrontation with him over his alleged drinking and drug use, according to the AP.
