Legal Question in Criminal Law in Michigan
assualt with intent to commit murder
is it true that if a person is shot anywhere on the body above the waistline it is considered an act of willfully trying to commit murder because of the vital organs in the upper body? Can a 15 year old be legally waived over as an adult by a magistrate without the parents or legal guardians being notified or aware of it until after it is done? what is the difference between adult and adult designated? if a 15 year old who has no prior criminal record be sentenced to an adult facility if found guilty of these charges or could he do some of his time in a juvinile facility until he becomes 18 years old or older? are there any special sentencing considerations that you know of that could help?

You have a large number of complex questions that should be directed to your son's lawyer and not over the internet. If you need to hire an attorney to represent you son, go to:

Whether the crime charged should be assault with intent to commit murder does not turn on simply whether the victim was shot above the waistline. Other factors come into play.
I suggest that you hire the best lawyer you can afford for your son. THese questions turn on specific facts,which should be known to yoru son's lawyer.

No, it is not true because any act of shooting can be considered attempted murder.
A 15 year old can be tried as an adult. Even if a 15 year old does not have record they can be sentenced as an adult.
There are not sentencing considerations. What you mean are mitigating circumstances such as mental illness or the person may have been intoxicated. Please contact me for further questions so that I can help you with this matter.
