The judicial test for raising a youth to adult is, I believe, would the youth benefit from programs available in the youth system or are they beyond gaining any help from them.
It has very little to do with the crime itself and its impossible to argue a kid under 16 won't change and develop, under 17 and even then it's a tough sell to a judge.
All kids incidently are tried as children, the adult part only figures in sentancing.
