Officials say the folder included plans for getting guns, killing the victims, and disposing of their bodies.
They are charged with conspiring to commit homicide and commit kidnapping.
Prosecutors in the central Florida county didn’t say whether they will be tried as adults. They are now in a juvenile jail.
