FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) - Three teenagers accused of setting
a 15-year-old Deerfield Beach boy on fire have pleaded not guilty
to attempted second-degree murder charges.
Denver Jarvis and Matthew Bent, both 15, and 16-year-old Jesus
Mendez are charged as adults. They pleaded not guilty on Thursday.
Authorities say Jarvis poured rubbing alcohol on Michael Brewer
on Oct. 12 in Deerfield Beach. Mendez is accused of lighting Brewer
on fire, and Bent is accused of directing the attack.
Brewer sustained burns over 65 percent of his body and is still
in critical condition at Jackson Memorial Hospital.
The teens are set to appear again in Broward County court on
Jan. 17.
