  • multiple killings
  • murder arising from a drug crime, and
  • killing a child younger than 14 years old by a person 21 years or older.

Treating juveniles as adults

CRIMINAL LAW BASICS

The Class 1 Felony description refers to a person less

It is important to know that someone as young as 14 may be tried as an adult (Code of Virginia §16.1-291).

In determining whether a juvenile will be tried as an

adult, the court examines many factors, including the seriousness of the crime and the juvenile’s role in

the crime.
