Juveniles, when charged with criminal acts, are entitled to trial in front of judge where the state must prove the crime beyond reasonable doubt, just as they would with an adult. Although some counties try limit their use of the ability, others routinely see trying children as adults as the proper way to deal with juvenile crime. They liberally permit the local District Attorneys to try children in adult court, especially after the child is 16 years of age.
