California Court of Appeal

Defendant's petition for a writ of mandate to compel the juvenile court to vacate its orders deeming him unfit for juvenile court treatment is granted where the juvenile court improperly deemed the defendant unfit and transferred the section 602 petitions by relying solely on the prosecutor's decision to file charges in the unrelated murder case directly in criminal court, and without holding a fitness hearing pursuant to section 707.
