Court of Appeals for the First Circuit May 31, 2017, No. 15-2520 (United States v. J.C.D.)

BARRON, Circuit Judge.

Juveniles may be tried criminally as adults in federal court if the government moves for the juvenile defendant to be tried as an adult and a federal district court finds that, given the requirements set out in 18 U.S.C. § 5032, it would be appropriate to do so. This case arises from an armed carjacking allegedly committed by J.C.D.
