Zaria Estes, the 15-year-old who is accused of assaulting a Temple student by hitting her in the face with a brick in March, will schedule her trial on Oct. 1.

Estes’ scheduling conference was confirmed in a decertification hearing held in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County around 10 a.m. Friday, attended by Estes and her parents.

Prior to Friday’s proceedings, Estes’ most recent court activity was a Sept. 9 hearing which confirmed she would be tried as an adult.

Judge Benjamin Lerner, who has presided over Estes’ pre-trial hearings since May, will hand over the role to Judge Michael Erdos for the October scheduling conference.

Estes, who was arrested March 26, faces charges of aggravated assault, conspiracy, possession of an instrument of crime with intent, terroristic threats with intention to terrorize another, simple assault and recklessly endangering another person.

The maximum sentence for aggravated assault in Pennsylvania is 20 years in prison.

The March 21 incident happened in the 1700 block of Norris Street when Estes and two 16-year-old girls allegedly harassed a Temple student before Estes hit her in the face with a brick. The student suffered a mild concussion and a fractured jaw.

The two 16-year-olds were initially charged as adults, but those charges were later dropped.
