November 10, 2009 (CHICAGO) -- Three teenagers charged in the beating death of Chicago honor student Derrion Albert are scheduled to appear in court.

The arraignment for 19-year-old Silvonus Shannon, 18-year-old Eugene Riley and 16-year-old Eric Carson, is Tuesday morning.

All three have been indicted on murder charges for their alleged roles in the Sept. 24 incident, which was caught on a cell phone camera.
