Summary
Sentencing of juvenile convicted of capital murder. Provides that, upon a finding of guilty of any felony charge, the court shall fix the sentence of a juvenile defendant without the intervention of a jury. Currently, the Code provides for involvement of a jury in a capital case; however, since a person convicted of capital murder while a juvenile may not be put to death, this is no longer necessary.
