A federal judge on Wednesday allowed a teenager accused of sexually assaulting and killing his 18-year-old stepsister aboard a Carnival Cruise ship to remain free for now while arguments continue in a Miami court hearing.
Timothy Hudson, 16, was initially charged as a juvenile, and U.S. Magistrate Judge Edwin Torres previously ruled he could stay with an uncle under electronic monitoring. However, prosecutors later sought his detention after the case was moved to adult court.
