When a minor is convicted of a crime committed as a minor, what is the impact of that minor's remoteness?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Morris, G050355 (Cal. App. 2015):
a factor of no small importance. Even one involving fraud or stealing, for example, if it occurred long before and has been followed by a legally blameless life, should generally be excluded on the ground of remoteness'"]; People v. Burns (1987) 189 Cal.App.3d 734, 738 (Burns) [conviction for a crime committed as a minor may be weighed less heavily than a crime committed when defendant was middle-aged].)
