Teen Hearing Rescheduled

It will be another week before we know if a Pensacola teenager will go back to jail or stay home. Jamal Lee is charged in a weekend murder that has affected two school campuses and kept prosecutors busy trying to get him back in jail.
Jamal Lee is the teenager accused of a murder that started a panic at two hgih schools and kept half the student body home earlier this week.
"It's a murder case, it's sad as it is with everything that's going on around the nation the school shootings colleges so we just don't know," says Tameka Stallworth a family friend.
The teenager was back in an Escambia County courtroom to find out if he would be able to remain free or have to wait for his trial in a jail cell. Lee is charged with the weekend murder of one teenager and wounding another. He was released on bond Monday night and since then authorities have been trying to get him back behind bars.
A pretrial detention hearing was delayed when Lee's attorney asked for more time to prepare her case. Judge Lynn Nobles granted her request.
"Naturally I was hoping he'd be detained," says Assistant States Attorney David Rimmer, "that's ultimately what they state wants in this case I think he's dangerous."
Rimmer says the gun used in the murder has never been found. Lee also has a juvenile record and last October was involved in a drive-by shooting according
to Rimmer. That is something that concerns school officials still dealing with the after effects of the weekend crime.
"We would all be more at ease if the young man was detained for his safety as well as that of others," says school spokesman Ronnie Arnold.
Lee nor any of his family member would talk about the case but friends say he deserves a chance. "Gods grace and mercy should be fore everybody he's somebody childs now granted we don't know if he's guilty or not so why hold him on just cause we have to lock everybody up," says Stallworth.
The detention hearing is scheduled for next Friday. In the meantime, Lee has a G-P-S monitor, he can not go within a thousand feet of the victim's families, any of the eyewitnesses or any school campus.
