Transfer to Superior Court

If a juvenile between the ages of 16 and 17 is charged with a Class A to G felony, the case will be transferred to be tried in adult court if a grand jury finds that it is possible that the juvenile committed the crime. North Carolina law makes it mandatory to send the case before a grand jury. If the grand jury does not find that the juvenile committed the crime, the case will be handled in juvenile court.
