Teen Shot After Accidental House Mix-Up Faces Shooter in Court

TL;DR Summary
Andrew Lester, the Missouri man charged with shooting teenager Ralph Yarl after he mistakenly arrived at the wrong house, is set to appear in court for a preliminary hearing. Yarl, who suffered a traumatic brain injury, is expected to testify during the hearing. Lester, who pleaded not guilty, was released on bond. The evidence in the case has been partially sealed due to a protective order filed by Lester's attorney, sparking criticism from Yarl's family. The judge ruled that the discovery will be available to prosecutors and the defense but not shared with the public, citing negative media coverage that could affect Lester's right to a fair trial.
