Juvenile court review for some 21-year-olds

The law lets juvenile court handle some cases when you are 21 or older now, but the act happened at ages 13–17. It applies only to offenses on or after October 1, 2013. If you were 16 or 17 then, it covers a petition for a category A or B felony when a writ of attachment was issued before your 21st birthday and not served before you turned 21. If you were 14 or 15 then, it covers a petition for a category A or B felony that involved a deadly weapon with the same writ timing, or when police had not identified you before you turned 21. If you were at least 13 then and are charged with murder or attempted murder, it covers the case with the same writ timing, or when police had not identified you before you turned 21, subject to other state age limits. The juvenile court must hold a probable-cause hearing. If there is no probable cause, the court dismisses the charges. If there is probable cause, the court must dismiss the petition or transfer the case to adult court after weighing factors like the act’s date and gravity, weapons or injury, impact on victims, past treatment and your development, risk of reoffense, health, delay reasons, and witness reliability. If transferred, all related charges go too, and the adult court takes original jurisdiction. If you are held, you are kept in an adult jail or prison and you have bail as in criminal cases.
