The Hidalgo County District Attorney's Office is recommending a Valley teen serve 20 years in prison — nearly four months after he's accused of stabbing another teen in Edinburg. 

The recommendation came during a pre-trial hearing on Wednesday. 

Aaron Rivas, 17, was charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and one count of unauthorized use of a vehicle.
