Not very likely regardless of the specifics is it?
Not questioning your reply, just can't see twelve years old being considered an adult by any stretch of the imagination,,,,,
I googled this, and found that Georgia has no minimum age for possible waiver to adult Court. That means a 12 year old could be waived to adult Court.
If the juvenile is waived to adult Court, and is then found not guilty, the juvenile will most likely be in adult Court for any future offenses, no matter how minor. Once waived, always waived is the standard in most states.
So, by very little stretch of the imagination, yes, a 12 year old could be charged and sentenced as an adult. (BTW, if waived to adult Court, they would still serve any sentence in a juvenile facility until they turned approximately 17 or 18, at which point they would be transferred in with the adult population.)
