US v. Juvenile, No. 05-30410 (6-22-06). The issue is whether, in a juvenile transfer, whether a court must consider the juvenile guilty of the offense. The 9th reviews the purpose of the juvenile act, and determines that the transfer decision is with an eye toward whether the juvenile can be rehabilitated if he is found guilty. A court may indulge the assumption that a juvenile is guilty, but the court can only do so on the exact elements of the offense charged. Moreover, the assumption is discretionary and not mandatory. The case is remanded under this standard.
