sentencing
&quot;Guidelines&quot; for juvenile felony in ohio
<p>After finding some things such as <a href="http://winningwithbinning.com/ohio-sentencing-chart/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> that kind of shows a guideline for sentencing and fines for felonies I was wondering if there was some sort of guidelines that could apply for a minor to commit a felony?</p>

<p>Alright after a lot of searching before hand I finally phrased the search right to find <a href="http://www.johnsonlegalofohio.com/ohio-juvenile-crime-penalties/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a>.. Sorry to sound like I don't google things, but I'd been searching for a while. I do hope this helps others looking for this, as it is tricky to find.</p>

<p>"A serious youth offender (SYO) sentence combines a sentence typically given to a juvenile with a sentence that is typically reserved only for adults convicted of a felony or misdemeanor. Several factors are used by the court to determine whether such a sentence is appropriate. These include:</p>

<ul>
<li>Whether the crime was an offense of violence if committed by an adult;</li>
<li>Whether the juvenile had a firearm while committing the offense; and</li>
<li>Whether the juvenile has a prior conviction for a serious crime."</li>
</ul>
