The certification hearing on whether Zephi trevino will be tried as an adult will be held today.
Justin Moore is representing the Trevino family.
The focus of the story: 17-year-old Zephaniah “Zephi” Trevino and 19-year-old Philip Baldenegro. Both have been accused in the deadly shooting that happened in August 2019.
The young girl claims she isn’t guilty. Her family has said she was being sex trafficked by Baldenegro.
David Finn, Baldenegro’s attorney called the sex trafficking allegations a “smoke screen.”
Beyond The Certification Hearing
Beyond the certification hearing, Trevino’s case has attracted Hollywood attention from Jamie Lee Curtis, Demi Lovato, and now, Kim Kardashian West.
It has also attracted attention of political activists angry that Dallas District Attorney John Creuzot shared a Facebook post of another defense attorney stating why Trevino should be tried as an adult.
I just watched Dr. Phil’s episode about this case. Her hearing was yesterday and I hope and pray her charge was thrown out of court. Can you tell me if it was?
She knew what she was doing
She could have walked away
She was in the planning
Any updates since the 4th?
BS
They all need to be Executed
All Guilty
In the case of Zephi, I did not view a frightened teen victim of sex trafficking or abuse but the face of a defiant, angry person who showed absolutely no remorse for the actual victims and seemed only concerned that we all “ believe” only what she says. Anyone who believes that a 16 yr old female is incapable of this has never been a 16yr old girl. Don’t be fooled by a bunch of celebrities on a band wagon. Why is their opinions valued so much more than anyone else’s anyway? Dr. Phil’s show did not convince me of her “ innocence “ Quite the opposite indeed!
