Description
This is an appeal by W.M.F., a minor, from an order by Superior Court Judge Karl Johnstone, finding W.M.F. not to be amenable to treatment as a juvenile and waiving childrens court jurisdiction over W.M.F. W.M.F. contends that use of the "preponderance of the evidence" standard as the standard of proof in a waiver hearing to show nonamenability to treatment of a juvenile violates due process. She also contends that the court abused its discretion in denying a one-year postponement of the phase of the waiver hearing in which the court was to decide amenability to treatment. Further, she argues that the court abused as discretion in finding that W.M.F. is not amenable to treatment by the age of twenty. We affirm the superior court for the reasons set out below.
