Why is it determined at trial?

Nov 8, 2006 11:04 AM
The difference is in the sentence so why do they decide if the trial should be adult or juvenile? They should have a trial in juvenile court and then decide if they should be sentenced as an adult or a juvenile. I would think this would be a deterrent for crimes committed by children.
