URBANA – A Macon County jury will hear what a young girl told an interviewer in Florida about a game she played with her former teacher.

Champaign County Judge Harry Clem Monday ruled in the case of former Urbana elementary school teacher Jon White, 27, that the statement the girl gave to an interviewer about the tasting game with White met the necessary legal standard for it to be admitted at trial.
