A Prince William County juvenile court judge has continued a hearing to certify 17-year-old Xavier Pinckney as an adult to stand trial in the murders of Jean and Jim Smith.
His first-degree murder charges are now expected to upgraded to capital murder on Feb. 18.
Pinckney was charged last month in the slayings of Jean Smith, 39, and Jim Smith, 19, who were killed inside their Dale City home on Dec. 19.
Pinckney also faces burglary charges stemming from the incident.
Pinckney’s 22-year-old girlfriend and another teen 19-year-man have also been charged.
