CPL § 722.24

Except where inconsistent with this article, all provisions of the CPL apply to all criminal actions, appeals, and post-judgment motions involving a JO or AO. ★

★ Exam hits:

• Every county gets a Youth Part of the superior court, with exclusive jurisdiction over JO/AO proceedings; accessible magistrates stand in for first appearances when it's not in session (§ 722.10).
• § 722.23 day-counts (memorize): DA has 30 calendar days to move to prevent removal; the court denies that motion unless it finds extraordinary circumstances; for a class A/violent felony there's a 6-calendar-day appearance to review the accusatory instrument; and the court rules within 5 days of the hearing.
• At the AO 6-day review, the case stays in criminal court only if the DA proves by a preponderance: significant physical injury, display of a weapon, or specified sexual conduct.
• Removals for the most serious JO charges (murder 2, rape 1, armed felony) require one of three factors: mitigating circumstances, relatively minor participation, or proof deficiencies.
• The § 722.22(2) "interests of justice" factors (seriousness, harm, evidence, character, sentence purpose, community safety, public confidence, victim's attitude, no useful purpose) — the court's reasons must be stated in detail, not conclusory.
• Statements a youth makes to probation are confidential — not shared with the DA/youth part, and inadmissible before conviction (§ 722.00).
• Waiver of review/removal must be knowing, voluntary, in open court, with counsel (§ 722.23(4)).
