North Carolina Senate advances a juvenile justice bill, allowing teens aged 16-18 accused of certain felonies to begin cases in Superior Court.
North Carolina Senate advances a juvenile justice bill, which could see teens aged 16-18, accused of certain felonies begin their cases in Superior Court before determining if they should be in juvenile court. The offenses include first-degree murder and assault with a deadly weapon. The bill is not seen as a rollback of the 'Raise the Age' law and must pass the House before going to the Governor.
