The young man convicted of murdering 16-year-old Hannah Leflar will learn whether he’ll be sentenced as a youth or an adult today.
A two week hearing was held back in May for the young girl’s killer who pleaded guilty to first degree murder last year.
Leflar was found stabbed to death in her home in January 2015.

Her killer is now 19 but cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act because he was 16 at the time.
If he’s sentenced as an adult, his identity would become public and he would serve an automatic life sentence of 25 years with no chance of parole for 10 years.
The teen will be back in court on Wednesday afternoon.
A second teen who also pleaded guilty to second degree murder awaits his sentencing in September.
