Case Against 12-Year-Old Dismissed

My 12-year-old client was charged with two felonies. I filed a motion asking the judge to reduce the charges to misdemeanors and the judge agreed. A psychological assessment of my client revealed that he was too young to understand the proceedings. I set it for a hearing and the judge dismissed the case.
