US government? Huh?
Did you read your own article? This has nothing to do with the Federal government. It's a local government.
If you're trying to expand the argument into why LOCAL and STATE governments will sometimes try minors as adults it is because there are certain crimes that serious enough to make an exception for, especially if the kid is a habitual violent offender.
You'll also notice that adult charges have not been filed at this point, so this case isn't the best example to use, at least at this point.
I'm really confused as to exactly what point you're trying to make since, at the very least, you've done a poor job of picking an example to illustrate whatever point it is.
