Overview: Defendant's motion for transfer under Del. Code Ann. tit. 10, § 1011(b), for trial as juvenile was denied where State showed fair likelihood of being able to convict, multiple robbery offenses were egregious, defendant's criminal history was replete with similar crimes, and society's interest would best be served by treating defendant as an adult.
