Rule 4.5. Decision and removal

The court shall enter within the twenty (20) days following the conclusion of the hearing of the case under its consideration. If the court enters a founded resolution declaring that the waiver of jurisdiction does lie, it will issue an order for removal of the case to the regular jurisdiction, to be tried as if it were an adult perpetrator and will set bail for the minor pursuant to criteria established by the Rules of Criminal Procedure, App. II of this title. In these cases, the minor for whom the court waives jurisdiction will be able to request the revision of bail set, through motion filed with the Part of the Court of First Instance of the venue which may know of the case. The order for removal shall include any kind of offense pending adjudication. Statements, evidence, documents and all other information held by the court shall accompany the record, except any of confidential nature pursuant to these rules, such as social, psychological, psychiatric or neurologic reports, plus expert witnesses’ evaluations in the socio-emotional area.

The notice concerning the waiver, sent by the clerk of the court to the District Attorney or governing authority, shall not include the resolution entered.

The Prosecutor shall be responsible for the immediate transfer of the minor to the pertinent authorities for these to initiate proceedings against him as an adult in the regular jurisdiction.
