SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A defense attorney says a Utah teen accused of luring a 12-year-old neighbor girl out of her house and strangling her doesn't seem to understand the court proceedings against him.

His attorney said during the hearing that the boy appeared to be simply nodding along as a judge told him that the charges are serious and prosecutors want to try him as an adult. He is due back in court next month.
