News media outlets report that Judge Robert Turk has taken under consideration the request from 19-year-old Natalie Keepers.
Keepers is charged with being an accessory to kidnapping and murder and with helping hide the body of seventh-grader Nicole Lovell last year. Nineteen-year-old David Eisenhauer is charged with first-degree murder, abduction and hiding Lovell's body. Their trials are scheduled for March.
