> He’s being charged in state court

The release doesn't say that either thar he is being charged in state court or that he is not being charged in federal court. First it says why they won't tell you details of any federal charges—“With exceptions that do not apply to this case, juvenile proceedings in federal court are sealed to protect the identity of the juvenile”—then it says that the federal authorities have referred the juvenile to state authorities (without saying anything about action taken by the state authorities.)

Sorry I was incorporating information from another HN linked article: https://www.wfla.com/news/hillsborough-county/tampa-teen-acc...

It’s much clearer as to what’s happening at the state level.

It’s also clearer that, for now anyway, he’s being held near his family.
