Keeping Charges Out of Adult Court
Under North Carolina law, a juvenile who is 13, 14 or 15 years old who is charged with a felony may be tried as an adult in Superior Court. Facing trial as an adult can bring the possibility of prison time. For this and other reasons, it is better for juveniles for their case to be heard in District Court. Brad Sahl will take every possible step to make sure this happens.
