Want this question answered?
If someone is 18 or older they are charged as adults. Someone that is younger then 18 can't be charged as adult.
If the crime committed can be considered a crime only an adult would commit then the 11 year old can be charged as an adult. For example intentional murder. But this is strictly up to the judge.
If they are tried as an adult, yes!
Well, if juveniles are charged with adult crimes such as murder, burglary, or robbery, then I would say yes, they could be convicted of vehicular manslaughter.
No. You are charged as an adult.
A teenage can be charged with stealing at any age! Can he be charged as an adult? Perhaps, especially if he is a repeat offender. Juveniles very rarely get charged as an adult for stealing. But the age of 18, still albeit a teenage year, is the magic age-- one in which he becomes an adult, and therefore is charged as an adult for any crime he commits.
The judge considered the act so heinous or premeditated that youthful indescretion or lack of understanding of the action could not be excused by the age of the defendant.
Well, in most states..beter yet, in America/USA.....If you are pleaded guilty, its a life sentence, including leathel injections. Im pretty sure that goes for every state as well so if you killed someone, hope no one turns you in or hope you dont get caught if you caught, you are S.O.L
Can he or she be charged as an adult? yes. Will he or she be charged as an adult, that's something ONLY the judge can answer. Its up to the judge to decide that so hope that he is merciful. But its not likely on a charge like that. sense its not a felony i doubt he gets tried as an adult.
Yes, it can.
It depends on your state's law and the desires of the prosecutor. The state's law will define what age a person is a juvenile or an adult. If your state defines an adult at the age of 17 then you can be charged as an adult.
The length of time one could spend in juvenile detention for burning a school would depend on the severity of the damage caused and the jurisdiction's laws. It could range from a few months to several years. Additionally, other factors such as prior criminal history and intent behind the act may also impact the sentencing.
