Juvenile Code: Delinquency
Grounds for waiving youth under 15 years of age
Notes of Decisions
Requirement that youth possess "sufficient sophistication and maturity to appreciate the nature and quality of the conduct involved" means that, in order to authorize waiver of youth under ORS 419C.349 or this section, juvenile court must find, as factual determination, that youth possesses sufficient adult-like intellectual, social and emotional capabilities to have adult-like understanding of significance of youth's conduct, including wrongfulness of that conduct and consequences for youth, victim and others.
