En domare i Wisconsin har beslutat att Tylor Birch är lämplig att ställas inför rätta för vållande till annans död genom grov vårdslöshet efter att 13-årige Jakob Bowerman drunknat. Birch och tonåringen Peyton Carnot ska enligt anklagelserna ha svingat pojken, som inte kunde simma, från en brygga ut i en sjö förra året. Båda står inför rättsliga anklagelser kopplade till händelsen i augusti 2025.

Tylor Birch, 21, närvarade på distans vid Marinette County Circuit Court den 2 april, där en psykolograpport bekräftade hans lämplighet att ställas inför rätta. Både försvaret och åklagarsidan accepterade resultaten, vilket kullkastade ett tidigare omtvistat beslut. Birch nästa förhandling är planerad till den 30 april, enligt lokal rapportering från WBAY-TV 11 News.
