In my state you can plead Y.O. (youthful offender) until you're 19, if it's a first offense and the crime isn't something major. It's usually the discretion of the trial court judge. I have a relative who's on the prosecution side and the judge usually goes with her recommendations.

I think it's a pretty good deal. I know several people and a few good kids who had a Y.O. plea at some point. It's sealed and doesn't show up on your record, so if you do something dumb when you're young, then your whole life isn't screwed up.
