GOLDEN, Colo. (AP) — Three men charged in the death of a 20-year-old driver who was hit in the head by a rock that crashed through her windshield in Colorado will stand trial on murder and other charges. A judge made the ruling Wednesday after a hearing on evidence in the case. The judge said there was enough at this stage to prosecute Joseph Koenig, Nicholas Karol-Chik and Zachary Kwak for first-degree murder in the death of Alexa Bartell on April 19. The judge also ruled there was enough evidence to prosecute the men for attempted murder in connection with the cases of six other vehicles that were also hit by rocks the same night that Bartell died.
