Sentencing: juveniles.
Summary
Existing law authorizes the prosecution and punishment of an individual under 18 years of age as an adult for a criminal offense under specified circumstances upon a finding that the individual is not a fit and proper subject to be dealt with under the juvenile court law. Existing statutory language provides that, except as otherwise provided, an individual prosecuted under this provision must be sentenced under the juvenile court law unless the district attorney demonstrates by a preponderance of the evidence, that the individual is not a fit and proper subject to be dealt with under the juvenile court law as specified. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
