  • Georgia's SB440 law puts the teen in adult superior court because the charges are among violent felonies that can be prosecuted against 13- to 17-year-olds as adults.
  • Kim Zolciak said her son "categorically denies" the allegations, adding he passed a polygraph and that no DNA belonging to him was found.
  • Metro Regional Youth Detention Center is holding Biermann without bond pending a preliminary hearing scheduled for September.
