    Hello r:

    I don't know. But, here's the good news. If they're charging him with a felony, they've appointed a lawyer for him, and that lawyer knows the answer to your question.

    He knows it even BETTER than you'll find in the lawbooks, because he knows the particular circumstances of the juvenile record and the circumstances of the present offense...

    So, have your friend ask his lawyer. Or, maybe you could even call him up on the telephone and ask yourself. I don't know if he'd tell you.
