  2. T.C. v. State

    740 P.2d 739 (Okla. Crim. App. 1987)   Cited 7 times
    In T.C. v. State, 740 P.2d 739 (Okla. Cr. 1987), the trial court rejected overwhelming evidence establishing that T.C. was amenable to rehabilitation within the juvenile system on the basis of the judge's personal opinion that the juvenile system was not working properly.

    This Court has previously found that the State failed to meet its burden of showing nonamenability "by substantial evidence" in two cases where the juvenile was charged with second degree murder. See S.H. v. State, 581 P.2d 916; In re G.L.W., 580 P.2d 998, 1002 (Okla. Cr. 1978). In the instant case, the trial judge conceded that the "evidence in this case . . . is clear that rehabilitation and successful treatment are well within the limits of accomplishment with proper application of extensive and long-term psychotherapy and over an extended duration."
