Motion to Certify

In OCCA case No. J-2018-402, M. T. G. appealed his conviction for Trafficking in Illegal Drugs. In an unpublished decision, the court decided to reverse the order that sentenced him as an adult and remanded the case back to the District Court. One judge dissented. M. T. G. was charged as a juvenile for Trafficking illegal drugs when he was 17 years and 9 months old. The State, however, filed a motion to treat him as an adult. The court found that M. T. G. should have been charged as a youthful offender instead of a juvenile, which was the basis for the reversal.
