FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) \u2014\u00a0The teen boy prosecutors say shot and killed Caleb Quick at a Clovis McDonald\u2019s last year returned to court on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
He walked in wearing a purple shirt, looking right at Caleb\u2019s family.<\/p>\n
The judge called the court to order, but the suspect\u2019s parents were still in the waiting room. His defense attorney then paused the hearing to go get them herself.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll try this again,\u201d the judge said when the boy\u2019s parents entered the courtroom.<\/p>\n
He then granted attorneys another delay, postponing the high-stakes transfer hearing until this summer.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s frustrating for sure,\u201d Caleb\u2019s father, Steve Quick, said later.<\/p>\n
Quick, with prosecutors, is pushing for the teen boy to face justice in adult court, where potential punishment is much longer.<\/p>\n
But the boy\u2019s defense has objected. They have hired experts to evaluate the boy and find reasons for him to stay in the juvenile system.<\/p>\n
Prosecutors tell Action News they are \u201chopeful\u201d the case can move forward by June.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis doesn\u2019t benefit Caleb, doesn\u2019t benefit our families at all that are the victims in this situation,\u201d Quick said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the boy\u2019s girlfriend \u2014 the alleged accomplice police say served as the getaway driver \u2014 is preparing for her own transfer hearing.<\/p>\n
It will begin on Monday and could last up to one week at the courthouse downtown.<\/p>\n
Attorneys on both sides will call on experts to make their case.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re going to be presenting evidence, a lot of evidence that hasn\u2019t been put out yet to the media and the community,\u201d Quick said. \u201cA lot of video evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n
Next week\u2019s critical hearing tees up a decision about the girl\u2019s case that is likely to come a few days before the first anniversary of Caleb\u2019s death.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a huge step in the right direction or the wrong direction,\u201d Quick said. \u201cEither way, it\u2019s a huge step in the process.\u201d<\/p>\n
