At the age of eighteen, a person can be tried for an adult in court. However, with especially heinous crimes, some minors have been charged as adults in the past. These crimes usually involve killing or some kind of serious physical harm to another human being.

How is a minor charged as an adult?
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.
