In the state of North Carolina an adult age in courts is 16, so if a 16 yr old commits a crime he/she will be tried in adult court. 14 year olds can also be tried in adult court if he/she commits a major felony. Say a 14 year old shoots his mom, he would be tried in adult court. Say a 14 yr old steals from a store, or some small crime, he will not be tried in adult court.
