The trial of an 11-year-old girl arrested on a deadly weapon charge is scheduled to begin Wednesday after her attorney and prosecutors are unable to agree on a plea bargain. Authorities arrested Maribel Cuevas, 11, in April after she threw a two-pound rock at a neighborhood boy who had hit her with a water balloon. The boy suffered a severe gash in his forehead when the rock hit him. Cuevas was sent to Fresno's juvenile hall for five days and also spent a month under house arrest after police reported she resisted arrest and assaulted an officer.
