Maybe it can’t be transferred out of juvenile court when below 10 or something else rules out charging a kid below 10, but (a)4 & 5 don’t seem to apply. I don’t think that murder is an ordinance of a political subdivision of the state.

I also haven’t had any coffee today, so I definitely could be misreading it right now.
