Description
Under Alaska law before 1994, any person under the age of 18 who was charged with a felony was prosecuted and (if found guilty) punished under the juvenile delinquency laws contained in Title 47, chapter 10 of the Alaska Statutes. In 1994, however, the Alaska Legislature amended the coverage of the juvenile delinquency laws by enacting former AS 47.10.010(e). Under this statute (from 1994 to 1996), and now under the successor statute, AS 47.12.030(a), 16- and 17-year-olds who are charged with certain serious felonies are prosecuted as adults and, if found guilty, they are punished as adults. *fn1 The issue presented in this appeal is: how should a court proceed when a 16- or 17-year-old is prosecuted (as an adult) for one of the serious felonies listed in AS 47.12.030(a) but is ultimately found guilty of some lesser offense?
