Defending Minors Who Are Facing Criminal Charges In Fulton County

Young people are far more likely to make mistakes than adults. Lack of experience gets in the way of good decision-making. There are many issues that could come into play, including peer pressure, lack of confidence, and friends that have bad ideas. Once caught in the justice system, whether for a misdemeanor or felony crime, the situation is extremely dangerous. For some crimes, the prosecutor will attempt to have a case moved to adult court, typically when dealing with violent crimes such as manslaughter, murder, and other serious violent crimes.

Consequences Of Juvenile Crimes in Georgia

The juvenile court system is geared to rehabilitate the young and get them out of the system and back on track before it is too late. The adult justice system is focused on punishment, although there is some shift towards rehabilitation for non-violent crimes. No matter what situation your child is in legally, you need to ensure that everything possible is done to reduce the damage. A conviction can be a very serious issue and can lead to an inability to get a job, being restricted from entering certain colleges, the inability to get a professional license, and other dangers.

Can Juveniles Be Tried As An Adult?

In Georgia, juvenile offenders aged 17 and above can be tried as adults. The decision to charge a minor as an adult lies with the prosecutor, who will consider factors such as the severity of the specific offense, the age of the offender, and their criminal history. If the minor offender is found guilty, the penalties can range from the suspension of driving privileges or probation to incarceration in an adult jail or prison.
