PHILADELPHIA — A Philadelphia judge on Monday ordered that the two young teens accused of fatally beating a 73-year-old man with a traffic cone in North Philadelphia last summer should stand trial for murder.
Gamara Mosley and Richard Jones, both 14 years old, were arrested last July after they allegedly chased the man, James "Simmie" Lambert Jr., and struck him multiple times with the traffic cone.
Lambert collapsed on the sidewalk, suffering from a serious head injury, prosecutors said. He later died at the hospital.
