3 Teen-Agers Ordered to Stand Trial in Slaying : Crime: Defendants will be prosecuted as adults in death of a 16-year-old boy and the wounding of another in Agoura Hills.

Three Conejo Valley teen-agers were ordered Thursday to stand trial on murder charges in the stabbing death of an Agoura Hills youth, the son of a Los Angeles police officer.

Micah Holland, 15, Chris Velardo, 17, and Tony Miliotti, who turned 18 about two weeks after the May 22 fatal stabbing, are being prosecuted as adults in the Superior Court trial being held in Malibu. They are among five youths--four from Thousand Oaks and Oak Park--accused of the crime.

Superior Court Judge James A. Albracht on Thursday found there is enough evidence to try the three on charges of murder, attempted murder and robbery in the death of James Farris III and the wounding of Michael McLoren, both 16, of Agoura Hills. The attack occurred during what police say was an attempted robbery in McLoren’s back-yard clubhouse.

About two dozen family members and friends of the defendants crowded the wood-paneled courtroom where the three teen-agers--all with dark, slick-backed hair and emotionless demeanors--attentively watched the proceedings.

Miliotti of Westlake Village and Holland of Thousand Oaks are being held in Sylmar Juvenile Hall without bail. Velardo, an Oak Park teen-ager who authorities said was sitting in a waiting pickup truck while the other four jumped a fence and confronted McLoren, is being held in Sylmar Juvenile Hall on $1-million bail.

The three are scheduled to be arraigned today before acting Superior Court Judge Lawrence J. Mira.

Brandon Wade Hein,18, of Oak Park and Jason Holland, 18, of Thousand Oaks already have been bound over for trial on murder, attempted murder and robbery charges.

Prosecutor Jeffrey Semow today will seek to consolidate all five cases so the teen-agers can be tried together. The cases of Hein and Jason Holland, Micah’s brother, already have been joined.

Trial for Hein and Jason Holland is scheduled to begin Monday if the other three cases are not consolidated with them.

Prosecutors say Micah Holland was the ringleader in the teen-agers’ attempt to steal marijuana from McLoren. The Holland brothers, Hein and Miliotti attacked McLoren after he refused to open a locked drawer that contained marijuana, police said. Farris had been visiting and exercising with McLoren.

Both McLoren and Farris were stabbed. Farris died of two stab wounds to the chest, and McLoren survived.

Four of the defendants were arrested soon after the slaying. Jason Holland eluded authorities for three weeks before turning himself in shortly after his mother faced television cameras and begged him to surrender.

Thursday, defense attorneys argued that there was no proof there was a robbery nor was there proof of who stabbed Farris and McLoren. They also challenged McLoren’s credibility, claiming he has changed stories in the course of the investigation. Velardo’s attorney, Bruce Jones, argued that Velardo was not involved in the murder, having waited in a pickup truck.

Prosecutors claimed that though McLoren had told police that he had not seen who stabbed him or Farris, all five teen-agers are criminally responsible for the slaying.

Albracht said he found sufficient evidence to hold a trial and denied motions to dismiss the charges against Miliotti, Velardo and Micah Holland.

James Sussman, attorney for Micah Holland, said Thursday he has filed an appeal requesting the 2nd Appellate District Court to review and revoke the July 27 San Fernando Valley juvenile court decision that declared the teen-ager fit to stand trial as an adult.
