Anyone of ANY age can be charged with a felony crime. Someone's youth or age is no bar to that. If the crime is especially serious or heinous you can be bound over for trial as an adult, even if it took place before your 18th birthday. AFTER your 18th birthday any crime you commit will be tried as as adult.
