Yes. The age that matters is the age when the crime was committed and yes he can be charged as an adult. If you need a defense attorney, please feel free to give us a call.

Perhaps not. You should definitely hire an attorney to look into this (or work with a public defender).
Below, I've pasted some language from the Juvenile Court Act. This and more information can be found on our website: http://www.shestokas.com/Juvenile_Court_Act.html
705 ILCS 405/5‑120)
Sec. 5‑120. "...Except as provided in Sections 5‑125, 5‑130, 5‑805, and 5‑810 of this Article, no minor who was under 17 years of age at the time of the alleged offense may be prosecuted under the criminal laws of this State. "
