To start what my question refers too is my boyfriend is being convicted of an attempted aggravated robbery, he is 19 years old and was looking at probation for his charge, until the probation recommend 2.5 years in prison because of something they found in his juvenile record from when he was thirteen years old. He was involved in a drive by, although nothing serious happened at the time back then he was only charged with lying to the police, but the judge is not sure whether he wants to give him probation, he said he is thinking about giving him his presumtive of 2.5 years because of his juvenile record and doesn't think he would be eligible for probation, and they set him a mitigation hearing, and this is his first offense as an adult. Can they use his juvenile record against him like that? From something he did at thirteen years old, because I just don't see how that is right
