TYLER (AP/Staff) – Preparations are underway after Judge Floyd Getz ruled Monday that Mark Nathaniel “Nate” Anderson will stand trial as an adult. The 15-year-old, of New Chapel Hill, is accused of killing his sister by shooting her in the head. He’s charged with murder and remains in the Smith County Jail on bond of $1 million. The body of 19-year-old Amanda Anderson was found Sept. 15 in the family’s home. Mental health expert Jim Brown had recommended Anderson remain in the juvenile system. Prosecutor Matt Bingham says pornographic sites were found on Anderson’s computer and crime scene photos show the seriousness of the attack.
