FORT COLLINS, Colo. (AP) -- A trial has been set for a 16-year-old boy accused of kicking a rock off a cliff that killed a Michigan girl vacationing in Colorado.
Freddie Henderson Bailey III of Katy, Texas, pleaded not guilty Friday to manslaughter in the death of 17-year-old Audra Brownell of Sparta, Mich., in June. His trial is scheduled to start Feb. 1.
Authorities say a rock Bailey kicked fell 30 feet from a cliff in an open space in the northern Colorado town of Estes Park and struck Brownell.
The Coloradoan reports that Bailey was with his father and lawyer, Larry Mertes, in court in Fort Collins Friday.
If Bailey is convicted, the maximum sentence would be two years in a juvenile facility.
