Description
1 On January 29, 1979, the respondent, Seventh Judicial District Judge, Sandra Johnson, declared 10 O.S.Supp. 1978 ?? 1104.2 [10-1104.2] and 1112(b), unconstitutional on the grounds (1) that the statutes deny equal protection of the law; (2) that Section 1112(b) creates a constitutionally impermissible presumption that 16 and 17-year-old accused of serious crimes should be treated as adults; (3) that the statutes impermissibly shift the burden of persuasion on the question of whether a 16 or 17-year-old accused of a serious crime should be treated as a juvenile or as an adult; and (4) that the statutes are unconstitutionally vague. Pursuant to 22 O.S.Supp. 1978 ? 1053.1 [22-1053.1], the petitioner filed in this Court an application to assume original jurisdiction on a reserved question of law.
