In Pennsylvania prior to the passage of legislative statutes governing the automatic transfer of juvenile offenders charged with murder into Adult Court, juvenile offenders charged with murder were protected from automatic transfer into Adult Court. They were routinely subjected to a hearing before a judge to determine whether or not, based on their maturity and capacity, they would be transferred into Adult Court. Transfers of juvenile offenders charged with murder were rare and typically reserved for heinous crimes in which the juvenile offender was the actual perpetrator or when the juvenile offender had an extensive arrest/detention record.
