    36  this  title if, upon consideration of the criteria specified in subdivi-
    37  sion two of section 722.22 of this article, it is determined that to  do
    38  so  would  be  in  the  interests of justice. Where, however, the felony
    39  complaint charges the juvenile offender with murder in the second degree
    40  as defined in section 125.25 of the penal law, rape in the first  degree

    48  following factors: (i) mitigating circumstances that bear directly  upon
    49  the manner in which the crime was committed; or (ii) where the defendant
    50  was not the sole participant in the crime, the defendant's participation
    51  was relatively minor although not so minor as to constitute a defense to
    52  the prosecution; or (iii) possible deficiencies in proof of the crime.
    53    §  29.  Subdivision 5 of section 722.21 of the criminal procedure law,
    54  as added by section 1-a of part WWW of chapter 59 of the laws  of  2017,

     5  the  family  court  pursuant  to the provisions of article seven hundred
     6  twenty-five of this title and upon consideration of the criteria  speci-
     7  fied  in subdivision two of section 722.22 of this article, it is deter-
     8  mined that to do so would be in the interests of justice. Where,  howev-
     9  er,  the felony complaint charges the adolescent offender with murder in
    10  the second degree as defined in section 125.25 of the penal law, rape in
    11  the first degree as defined in paragraph (a) of subdivision  one,  para-

    15  law,] or an armed felony as defined  in  paragraph  (a)  of  subdivision
    16  forty-one  of  section  1.20  of this chapter, a determination that such
    17  action be removed to the family court shall, in addition, be based  upon
    18  a  finding  of  one  or  more  of  the following factors: (i) mitigating
    19  circumstances that bear directly upon the manner in which the crime  was
    20  committed;  or  (ii) where the defendant was not the sole participant in
    21  the crime, the defendant's participation was relatively  minor  although
    22  not  so  minor  as  to constitute a defense to the prosecution; or (iii)
    23  possible deficiencies in proof of the crime.
    24    § 30. Paragraph (b) of subdivision 1 of section 722.22 of the criminal

    28  action involving an indictment charging a juvenile offender with  murder
    29  in the second degree as defined in section 125.25 of the penal law; rape

    33  degree, as defined in subdivision one of section  130.50  of  the  penal
    34  law];  or  an  armed  felony  as defined in paragraph (a) of subdivision
    35  forty-one of section 1.20 of this chapter, to the family court  pursuant
    36  to  the provisions of article seven hundred twenty-five of this title if
    37  the court finds one or more of the  following  factors:  (i)  mitigating
    38  circumstances  that bear directly upon the manner in which the crime was
    39  committed; (ii) where the defendant was not the sole participant in  the
    40  crime,  the  defendant's participation was relatively minor although not
    41  so minor as to constitute a defense to the prosecution; or (iii)  possi-
    42  ble  deficiencies in the proof of the crime, and, after consideration of
    43  the factors set forth in subdivision two  of  this  section,  the  court
    44  determined  that  removal  of the action to the family court would be in
    45  the interests of justice.
    46    § 31. Subparagraph (iii) of paragraph (g) of subdivision 5 of  section
    47  220.10  of  the criminal procedure law, as amended by chapter 264 of the
    48  laws of 2003, is amended to read as follows:
    49    (iii) Where the indictment  does  not  charge  a  crime  specified  in
    50  subparagraph  (i) of this paragraph, the district attorney may recommend
    51  removal of the action to the family court. Upon making such  recommenda-
    52  tion  the district attorney shall submit a subscribed memorandum setting
    53  forth: (1) a recommendation that the interests of justice would best  be
    54  served  by  removal  of  the  action to the family court; and (2) if the
    55  indictment charges a thirteen year old with the crime of murder  in  the
    56  second degree, or a fourteen or fifteen year old with the crimes of rape

     4  degree  as  defined  in  subdivision  one of section 130.50 of the penal
     5  law,] or an armed felony as defined  in  paragraph  (a)  of  subdivision
     6  forty-one  of section 1.20 of this chapter specific factors, one or more
     7  of which reasonably supports the recommendation, showing, (i) mitigating
     8  circumstances that bear directly upon the manner in which the crime  was
     9  committed,  or  (ii) where the defendant was not the sole participant in
    10  the crime, that  the  defendant's  participation  was  relatively  minor
    11  although  not so minor as to constitute a defense to the prosecution, or
    12  (iii) possible deficiencies in proof of the crime,  or  (iv)  where  the
    13  juvenile  offender  has  no previous adjudications of having committed a
    14  designated felony act, as defined in subdivision eight of section  301.2
    15  of  the  family  court act, regardless of the age of the offender at the
    16  time of commission of the act, that the criminal act was not part  of  a
    17  pattern  of  criminal behavior and, in view of the history of the offen-
    18  der, is not likely to be repeated.
    19    § 32. Subdivision 6 of section 300.50 of the criminal  procedure  law,
    20  as  amended  by  chapter  264 of the laws of 2003, is amended to read as

    23  degree  as  defined in [subdivision three] subdivisions seven, eight and
    24  nine of section 130.25 of the penal law [and criminal sexual act in  the
    25  third  degree  as  defined in subdivision three of section 130.40 of the
    26  penal law], are not lesser  included  offenses  of  rape  in  the  first
    27  degree[,  criminal sexual act in the first degree] or any other offense.
    28  Notwithstanding the foregoing, either such offense may be submitted as a
    29  lesser included offense of the applicable first degree offense when  (i)
    30  there is a reasonable view of the evidence which would support a finding
    31  that  the defendant committed such lesser offense but did not commit the
    32  greater offense, and (ii) both parties consent to its submission.
    33    § 32-a. Subdivision 6 of section 380.50 of the criminal procedure law,
    34  as separately amended by chapters 368 and 394 of the laws  of  2015,  is

    47  victim services, on which  the  victim  may  indicate  a  demand  to  be
    48  informed  of  any  petition  to  change the name of such defendant. Such
    49  forms shall be maintained by such prosecutor. Upon receipt of  a  notice
    50  of  a  petition  to  change  the name of any such defendant, pursuant to
    51  subdivision two of section sixty-two of the civil rights law, the prose-
    52  cutor shall promptly notify the victim at the most  current  address  or
    53  telephone  number  provided  by  such  victim in the most reasonable and
    54  expedient possible manner of the time and place such  petition  will  be
    55  presented to the court.
