Teen’s Trial Delayed Over Lily Peters Case | Wilmington News

The trial for 18-year-old Carson Peters-Berger, accused of murdering his 10-year-old cousin Lily Peters in 2022, may be delayed—or even avoided—after a resolution hearing scheduled for August 26. Originally set for November, the hearing could end the case without trial, though the defense says it will still address key issues. Lily vanished in April 2022 after leaving her aunt’s house; her bike was found in the woods, and her body discovered the next day with blunt force trauma injuries. Prosecutors allege Peters-Berger admitted to assaulting and strangling her, also facing sexual assault charges. The community remains shaken by the tragedy, and the August hearing could determine whether justice unfolds in court—or elsewhere.
