The short answer in NJ and most jurisdictions is Yes, if the juvenile is charged as a juvenile and the charges are waived to adult court. Given the very few facts presented by your question I am unable to respond further. Good luck.

No. Juvenile crimes are those committed before a person turns 17. The court depends on how old the person was when the alleged offense was committed.

No. The court depends on the age the person was when the crime was committed. It would either be in the jurisdiction of the juvenile or the adult court, but not both
