They have been charged with attempted aggravated murder, aggravated robbery and obstruction of justice in the attack on Deserae. In court Tuesday, authorities showed a March 10 video of Deserae in a hospital bed, surrounded by tubes and blankets. Her father told her the boys were suspects, leading Deserae to flash a look of shock. Jill Parker, a spokeswoman for the girl’s family, provided a family statement with an update on Deserae’s condition Wednesday. The boys then broke her cellphone and iPod and took $55 they found in her backpack, police said.
