Juvenile Law: Adult Prosecution-Certification

Where a juvenile challenged a judgment that certified him for prosecution as an adult under general law, the juvenile did not demonstrate a reasonable probability that but for his counsel’s alleged errors, the result of the proceeding would have been different, so the judgment is affirmed.

Judgment is affirmed.
