Episode Details

A 16-year-old girl, Cassie Michael, faces murder charges in the April 25th shooting death of 18-year-old Caleb Quick, allegedly serving as the getaway driver for her boyfriend, Byron Rangel, who is accused of firing the fatal shot. The trial, set for Thursday after a last-minute delay, will be decided by a judge—not a jury—due to Michael’s age at the time of the crime. Prosecutors have refused to offer a plea deal, while defense attorneys argue she had no knowledge of the gun or intent to use it. Police say Rangel followed Quick into a McDonald’s parking lot and shot him in the back of the head, allegedly in retaliation for a sexual assault Quick was accused of committing on Michael’s friend. Rangel’s next court date is September 1st, where his eligibility for adult prosecution will be determined. The trial is expected to last about ten days.
