J.G. v. Superior Court CA1/4
A juvenile court determined that petitioner J.G. was not suitable for treatment in the juvenile system and transferred his case to a court of criminal jurisdiction. J.G. challenges that ruling, arguing the juvenile court abused its discretion when analyzing the factors enumerated under Proposition 57, the Public Safety and Rehabilitation Act of 2016. Although the juvenile court’s explanation for transferring J.G. to criminal court initially gave us pause, we conclude the ruling was supported by substantial evidence and was not an abuse of discretion. We will deny J.G.’s petition for a writ of mandate.
