The state’s lead prosecutor in the case made the comment after the pair appeared in court last night.

He didn’t give details of the private hearing but suggested the women’s confessions haven’t yet satisfied prosecutors.

The girls had hoped that their guilty plea would guarantee them a faster trial and a shorter jail term.
