Which ages are associated with Murder 2 sub1/2 charges in the juvenile arrest guidelines?

• A. 13, 14, 15
• B. 14, 15, 16
• C. 12, 13, 14
• D. 15, 16, 17

Answer: (A)

Ages 13, 14, and 15 sit in the window the guidelines reserve for Murder 2 sub1/2. This range represents mid-teens who are old enough to be charged with serious homicide-related offenses within the juvenile system, yet not so old that those offenses automatically trigger adult processing. Younger youths (12 and under) are handled differently under the juvenile framework, while older youths (16–17) may fall under different statutes or adult charging. So those specific ages—13 through 15—are the ones associated with Murder 2 sub1/2 in the juvenile arrest guidelines.
