Although the case is set for Monday, the trial will not take place until Saturday, according to the agreement reached by the attorneys. Lapedis 14-year-old stepson told the eight-year-old boy of Mitchell Narty that his sister was dishonorable, and the youngster attempted to avenge the slur by "licking" his older antagonist.
