Re: criminal background gravity scores

All juvenile felony adjudications count in this case, as long as the conduct happened after the person's 14th birthday.

Once someone turns 28 years old, then some offenses will lapse, but some still count in the prior record score. (Homicide, serious crimes of violence, etc...)

See Title 204 Chapter 307, which controls the scoring of juvenile offenses for adults.
