Do they?

Surely if the person is 16 at the time of the offence and the offence is bad enough they will try them as an adult not wait until they are an adult.

Reason I ask is because this king hacker, their words not mine, stole 10mil when he was 15 due to a glitch. Now he is 20 and are now trying him as an adult. I mean yea let him do Juvenile Detention and pay it back.
