A judge yesterday threw out the convictions of two boys, ages 13 and 14, in the slaying of their father, who was bludgeoned with a baseball bat as he slept.
The judge said he will order a new trial for the boys, and in the meantime will encourage the prosecution and defense to work out a deal.
The brothers were facing prison terms of 20 years to life because they were tried as adults. They were convicted of second-degree murder without a weapon, as well as arson, for setting the house on fire to cover the crime.
