An Ohio girl who was charged with fatally shooting her 71-year-old father will not be tried as an adult.
The high school freshman from Hamilton, Ohio, was charged with aggravated murder in the shooting death of James Allen Ponder.
But a Butler County judge ruled on Monday that the teen's case will remain in juvenile court.
The judge said the case is serious, but she considered the girl's age and lack of a prior record.

A message seeking comment was left at the prosecutor's office. Prosecutors had sought to try the teen as an adult. The girl's attorney says they are pleased with the ruling.
Police arrested the teen on February 23 on an aggravated murder charge.
At the time, the teen made a tearful 911 call to a dispatcher saying that she had shot her elderly father.
The caller urged the dispatcher to have 'somebody come and put me in handcuffs'.
When the dispatcher asked why, the caller replied: 'I just shot my Dad.' The dispatcher asked: 'You just did what to your dad?' She answered: 'I just shot him.'

ShareThe dispatcher then asked what happened, to which the girl replied, 'I don't know. I just shot him.'
She also said repeatedly that she was sorry.
The 14-year-old said she put the gun in another bedroom 'where they keep the guns.'
She said she was calling from outside the house and had only her phone in her hand and her backpack on the ground. She asked what would happen to her, and the dispatcher told her he didn't know.
Police said they found Ponder shot in the face in a bedroom in the family's home in the 1200 block of Millville Avenue in Hamilton, about 25 miles north of Cincinnati.
Ponder was taken to Fort Hamilton Hospital, then transferred by helicopter to another hospital in Cincinnati where he later succumbed to his injuries.
Police allege the 14-year-old loaded a handgun and shot Ponder, (right with his older daughter), in the head with the intent to kill him
Hamilton Police Sgt Brian Robinson said Ponder was shot with a handgun. Robinson said the girl's mother and five siblings apparently weren't home at the time.
Authorities allege she loaded the gun and shot Ponder in the head with the intent to kill him.
Police later searched the house on Millville Avenue, seizing a 9mm handgun and a Cobra .380 semi-automatic pistol, along with a blood-soaked pillow, a book bag, an iPhone, four computers and one notebook.
During her initial court appearance Friday, the girl told a judge she understood the allegation against her, while authorities tried to learn what led up to the fatal shooting and her emotional call to 911.
A motive and other details remain under investigation.
