A 16-year-old boy will stand trial as an adult in the July stabbings of two North Platte youth group home workers.

Jordan Baker waived his preliminary hearing on Thursday, and the attempted murder case was moved to Lincoln County District Court.

Authorities say two female workers were stabbed several times on July 9. Both survived.

Baker and 18-year-old Keenan Lambert were arrested later that day in the stolen vehicle of one of the workers.

Lambert is also being charged as an adult in the crime.  He will be in Court on August 16th.
