What I meant was (and I was being too silly to be detail oriented at the time, my BAD!) - Do they look at her as being more apt to be able to try her as an adult because the crime was committed when she was almost 16? I guess I don't understand how they make the distinction as to whether they will try a person as an adult or not. Is it age? Is it by maturity level? Is it a lot of factors combined?
The technical factors they look at are the heinousness (not sure if that's a real word..haha) of the crime, the mental state of the "child" at the time of the crime, criminal background, etc....
The reality is he's going to look at the backlash he'll get from the community if she isn't tried as an adult. All the media attention this is getting and what decision would most benefit his career.
