Unless some other type of offense, particularly a violent one, was involved - it seems pretty unlikely.

Another Opinion:[contributed by >jponbac<]: Yes. Depends on the state. Some states are trying more teens as adults. If you are old enough to do the crime and you are at 14 to know right from wrong you need to serve the time.
The penalty for horse theft in the US can vary from county to county, but in most places it carries the same sentencing as Grand Theft. In some places it is still legal for a horse thief to be tried by a court and hanged for the crime.
no i tried
No.
If the child has the same understanding and commits a crime as an adult, then issuing a sentence that fits the crime is appropriate.
i tried u cant
In the state of North Carolina an adult age in courts is 16, so if a 16 yr old commits a crime he/she will be tried in adult court. 14 year olds can also be tried in adult court if he/she commits a major felony. Say a 14 year old shoots his mom, he would be tried in adult court. Say a 14 yr old steals from a store, or some small crime, he will not be tried in adult court.
yes you can. i just tried it and it's working!
u cant ive tried
They might get tried as a adult
no you can't. I even tried it just to be sure.
This varies from place to place. Yes. In my area of Canada the prosecution has to show that the Teenager was operating at level of an adult That the crime is of sufficient violence or depravity to require an adult penalty.
Yes you can, but you have to commit a crime serious enough to be tried as an adult.
