3 U.S. Teens Go on Trial for Stone Attack
Three American teenagers accused of killing two women by throwing heavy stones from a bridge onto a highway went on trial in the German city of Darmstadt, where their families are based with the U.S. Army. The teens, who were 14, 17 and 18 at the time of the Feb. 27 attack, entered the juvenile courtroom and sat quietly as prosecutor Manfred Vogel read out the charges: two counts of murder, four counts of attempted murder and interfering with traffic. If convicted, the three face up to 10 years in prison. Two women were killed when the stones smashed through their car windshields. Six cars were hit, and four other people were hurt.
