California has made numerous efforts over the last few years to extend protections to minors who are tried in criminal proceedings. In the majority of cases, it is the minor’s first offense. Under California law, children under 12 accused of criminal activity who do not commit rape or murder cannot be tried as adults. The state also dictates that those who were previously tried as a minor and sentenced to life without parole can ask judges to reconsider their sentences. California lawmakers have made an effort to show that minors’ maturity and mental and emotional health are still in development and that they should have an opportunity to correct their actions as adults. As such, Gammill Law juvenile defense lawyers will fight for just the same. Juvenile cases carry a special weight in the hearts of Gammill juvenile criminal defense lawyers.
