You don't necessarily have to be legally adult to be charged as one in all cases. It often happens for murder, its a matter of comprehension and cognizance of a suspect. If not minors could have free reign. I could murder somebody at the age of 17, and be released in a relatively short amount of time, plus it would be expunged from my record.
