Case of Columbia teen charged with fatally stabbing boyfriend heading to county court

A teenager accused of fatally stabbing her boyfriend in their Columbia apartment last month will have her charges decided in Lancaster County Court.

Janiyah Ann Torres, 17, waived her preliminary hearing Monday before District Judge Miles K. Bixler. She is charged with third-degree murder and homicide, both first-degree felonies.

In Pennsylvania, homicide is automatically treated as an adult crime, but a minor can petition to have the case moved to juvenile court, which focuses on rehabilitation and includes supervision until age 21.

'Tis the season

When you're missing a femur but you feel like dancing anyway - 

or performing a Shakespeare soliloquy

Meanwhile, on Kinderhook Road . . . 

A big-boned skeleton crew

And what's that coming toward us in the distance?

It's some sort of werewolfy creature.

And remember: When you spray for spiders, they sometimes come back bigger and badder than ever.

Bigfoot or Albatwitch?

Glittery jack o'lantern

Miss Evangelista after the transcription error?

In the window of Obscure Relics

There's the name.

Seen on the 200 block of Locust

If that's the Cross of Coronado, it belongs in a museum.

Green heron along shore

Is it the same one seen HERE?

Some leaves are different, but they're all part of the same tree.

No problem here

HOG

USGS on the bridge again

When you go against the grain - and the traffic.

A truckload of critters

Tractor in the morning light

The flower's almost done, but the moth isn't.

Here's one in fine form.

In case you want to light up your life

Draw your own conclusions.

What's coming?
