A New York City judge denied release for the 13-year-old boy suspected of murdering 18-year-old Barnard student Tessa Majors on Dec. 11 in Morningside Park. Goldstein said she does not see a "significant change of circumstances" to justify granting the suspect house arrest, despite requests by the defense to release him to his uncle. NYPD RELEASE TEEN SUSPECT IN MURDER OF BARNARD STUDENT TESSA MAJORSThe teen, who has remained in police custody since his arrest, previously told police that he handed a knife to his friend, who then stabbed Majors so brutally he saw "feathers come out of her jacket." The friend, a 14-year-old male, was captured by police after a weeklong search but released from custody after questioning. The 13-year-old suspect has been charged with second-degree murder, first- and second-degree robbery, and criminal possession of a weapon.
