STATE OF NEW JERSEY IN THE INTEREST OF A.D., A MINOR A-3720-09T4; A-3721-09T4

5-9-11 The denial of the state's motion to transfer jurisdiction from the family part to the Law Division is reversed where defendants were 17 years old when they were charged with Chart 1 offenses. Both defendants were just shy of eighteen when they were charged with Chart 1 offenses, including murder. Defendants' claims of duress and renunciation do not negate the existence of probable cause to believe they committed a delinquent act and are insufficient to defeat waiver.
