Phoenix, Arizona Juvenile Offenses Defense
Although those under the age of 18 have been traditionally prosecuted in juvenile court, new laws in Arizona permit the prosecution to automatically transfer the case to adult court; to petition a judge to transfer the case to adult court; and to wait until the juvenile turns 18 to then prosecute him as an adult.
Because being convicted for a juvenile offense can result in nearly the same penalties as an adult crime, including state prison. Thus, there is absolutely no reason that the case should not taken as seriously, nor defended any less aggressively than an adult case. |
