Syllabus

The juvenile court did not abuse its discretion in finding that appellant, who was 19.5 years old at the time of the court's decision, was not amenable to rehabilitation in the juvenile system. The factors in favor of bindover to adult court set forth in R.C. 2152.12(D) outweighed the factors against bindover set forth in R.C. 2152.12(E). In weighing the factors, the trial court was entitled to find the state's expert's opinion more credible than the defense's expert's opinion on amenability.
