Description
1 This case presents us with the opportunity to clarify the limits on a trial courts discretion in sentencing a youthful offender as an adult. Defendant, a fourteen-year-old child, entered a plea pursuant to North Carolina v. Alford, 400 U.S. 25 (1970), to second degree murder and tampering with evidence. After finding Defendant non-amenable to rehabilitation in juvenile facilities and ineligible for commitment to an institution pursuant to NMSA 1978, 32A-2-20 (1996), the trial court imposed an adult sentence. The court then increased Defendants basic sentence under NMSA 1978, 31-18-15.1 (1993), after finding aggravating circumstances.
