An Anne Arundel County judge has barred the public from the trial of one of two teens charged in the death of a 14-year-old Crofton boy.

Judge Philip Caroom issued the ruling Monday allowing media at the trial asking that they not publish the names of the 14-year-old boy charged in the death of Christopher Jones and witnesses who are juveniles.

The ruling comes after Caroom learned of death threats against the teen charged as a juvenile with manslaughter and related counts. The teen will remain in custody until his trial this fall.

Sixteen-year-old Javel George faces the same charges in Jones’ death, but is being prosecuted as an adult.
