S.3278

New Jersey S3278 mandates waiver of juvenile to adult criminal court for certain criminal homicide offenses involving stalking.

New Jersey S3278 requires the waiver of juvenile to adult criminal court for certain criminal homicide offenses involving stalking. The court must waive jurisdiction if the juvenile was 15 years of age or older at the time of the alleged delinquent act, there is probable cause to believe the juvenile committed a delinquent act which if committed by an adult would constitute criminal homicide, and there is probable cause to believe the juvenile engaged in conduct directed at the victim of the criminal homicide which constitutes stalking.
