[QUOTE="Andy, post: 151662, member: 5096"] I don't think he can be charged as an 18 yr old if he was only 17 at the time of the crime? It is the facts at the moment of the crime that should be taken into account. If he is charged at the higher level, it would be because of past record. They may be able to charge him as an adult today - it is based on the degree of the crime, not waiting until he is actually 18 before charges are filed. I would think his attorney is to fight tooth and nail for HIM not based on how much money you will give. Give me more money and I will keep him safer? I don't think so. My instincts would be no extra monies and if the attorney does his job well, the right thing will be done. The prosecutors will make a case where they want him charged. Your attorney should defend him and request juvy based on evidence, not on an extra $4000. [/QUOTE]
