Deven Young indicted on murder charge by grand jury in death of Sunshine Stewart

Deven Young, the Maine teenager who is accused of killing a paddleboarder at Crawford Pond in Union last year, has now been formally indicted on one count of intentional or knowing or depraved indifference murder by a Knox County grand jury. That indictment was handed down on Thursday. Under state law, that charge carries a minimum sentence of 25 years to life in prison. Last week, Young agreed to be tried as an adult in the case. Young waived his right to a bind-over hearing during a status conference that was held in Knox County Superior Court. A judge then confirmed that Young will be tried as an adult, and he was ordered to be held without bail at the Knox County Jail in Rockland. The Knox County Jail is a 72-hour holding facility, and the county's long-term incarcerated population is now housed at the Two Bridges Regional Jail in Wiscasset. Another status conference in Young's case is scheduled for January.

Your new television goes on sale elsewhere. Can you return it and buy the identical one cheaper?

A week after buying a television, another store offers the same model for much less. Your retailer refuses to match the price but allows unopened-looking returns. You could carefully repack the perfectly functional set.

Is a generous return policy permission to reverse a deal for any reason?
