• deciding that it is not unconstitutional to require a defendant to prove his age because it is not an element of the offense and merely determines the procedures that will be used to prosecute him
• finding that the Government had met its burden of proving a defendant’s adult status when the defendant represented at the time of arrest that he was 19, but later stated that he was 17, in light of the defendant’s lack of credibility and failure to produce other evidence of age
