The state Supreme Court on Tuesday will hear arguments in cases involving the “gap kids” who were charged as adults during the 130 days that Rhode Island prosecuted 17-year-olds as adults.

The high court will travel to Bishop Hendricken High School in Warwick to hear the arguments as part of a revived tradition of “riding the circuit.”

Tuesday’s calendar includes gap kid cases such as the case of Ryan Greenberg, a Barrington teenager who has been indicted on a charge of second-degree murder in connection with the July 17 boating death of another teen, Patrick Murphy.

In July, the General Assembly adopted Governor Carcieri’s budget proposal to save money by treating 17-year-olds as adults in criminal matters. But the savings proved questionable, at best, and on Nov. 7 the legislature repealed the law without making the repeal retroactive. That left about 500 gap kids charged as adults between July 1 and Nov. 8.

In February, Superior Court Judge Daniel A. Procaccini dismissed felony charges filed against 115 of those teenagers, and he decided to hold Greenberg’s indictment and three other indictments “in abeyance” pending Family Court hearings on whether they should be tried as adults. The Supreme Court will be hearing appeals in those matters.

Tuesday’s hearings, which are open to the public, will begin at 9:15 a.m. at the Bishop Hendricken High School theater at 2615 Warwick Ave. Those wishing to observe should arrive by 9 a.m.

“One of my goals as chief justice has been to remove the mystery enshrouding our court system and thereby increase access to our justice system,” Supreme Court Chief Justice Frank J. Williams said in a news release. “By traveling to different parts of the state, we can bring the courthouse to communities outside Providence so students and others can see firsthand how their justice system works.”
