Charges To Stand In Tracy Teen Torture Case

 CBS 5 CrimeWatch

STOCKTON (CBS 5 / AP) ― San Joaquin County judge has refused to throw out criminal charges against four people accused of torturing a teenager at a Tracy house.

Superior Court Judge Terrence Van Oss on Monday ruled the indictments will stand for Michael Schumacher, his wife, Kelly Lau, Caren Ramirez, and Anthony Waiters.

The four were indicted by a grand jury in March on aggravated mayhem, torture and false imprisonment of a 16-year-old Kyle Ramirez. They could spend life in prison if convicted.

Attorneys representing Schumacher and Waiters argued that prosecutors did not prove the torture charge.

Authorities say Kyle escaped from the couple's home in Tracy by unlocking an ankle chain and stumbling emaciated, half-naked and bruised into a health club in December.
