The court has the discretion to invoke either an | 0022| adult sentence or juvenile sanctions on a youthful offender. The | 0023| children's court attorney shall file a notice of intent to invoke | 0024| an adult sentence within ten working days of the filing of the | 0025| petition, provided that the court may extend the time for filing of | 0001| the notice of intent to invoke an adult sentence, for good cause | 0002| shown, prior to the adjudicatory hearing. A preliminary hearing by | 0003| the court or a hearing before a grand jury shall be held, within | 0004| ten days after the filing of the intent to invoke an adult | 0005| sentence, to determine whether probable cause exists to support the | 0006| allegations contained in the petition. | 0007| B. If the children's court attorney has filed a notice | 0008| of intent to invoke an adult sentence and the child is adjudicated | 0009| as a youthful offender, the court shall make the following findings | 0010| in order to invoke an adult sentence: | 0011| (1) the child is not amenable to treatment or | 0012| rehabilitation as a child in available facilities; and | 0013| (2) the child is not eligible for commitment to | 0014| an institution for the developmentally disabled or mentally | 0015| disordered. | 0016| C. In making the findings set forth in Subsection B of | 0017| this section, the judge shall consider the following factors: (1) the seriousness of the alleged offense; | 0018| (2) whether the alleged offense was committed in | 0019| an aggressive, violent, premeditated or willful manner; | 0020| (3) whether a firearm was used to commit the | 0021| alleged offense; | 0022| [(3)] (4) whether the alleged offense was | 0023| against persons or against property, greater weight being given to | 0024| offenses against persons, especially if personal injury resulted; | 0025| [(4)] (5) the sophistication and maturity of | 0001| the child as determined by consideration of the child's home, | 0002| environmental situation, emotional attitude and pattern of living; | 0003| [(5)] (6) the record and previous history of | 0004| the child; | 0005| [(6)] (7) the prospects for adequate | 0006| protection of the public and the likelihood of reasonable | 0007| rehabilitation of the child by the use of procedures, services and | 0008| facilities currently available; and | 0009| [(7)] (8) any other relevant factor, provided | 0010| that factor is stated on the record. | 0011| D. If the court invokes an adult sentence, the court | 0012| may sentence the child to less than, but shall not exceed, the | 0013| mandatory adult sentence. A youthful offender given an adult | 0014| sentence shall be treated as an adult offender and shall be | 0015| transferred to the legal custody of an agency responsible for | 0016| incarceration of persons sentenced to adult sentences. This | 0017| transfer terminates the jurisdiction of the court over the child | 0018| with respect to the delinquent acts alleged in the petition. | 0019| E. If a juvenile disposition is appropriate, the court | 0020| shall follow the provisions set forth in Section 32A-2-19 NMSA | 0021| 1978. A youthful offender may be subject to extended commitment in | 0022| the care of the department until the age of twenty-one, pursuant to | 0023| the provisions of Section 32A-2-23 NMSA 1978. | 0024| F.
