    54    § 29. Subdivision 5 of section 722.21 of the criminal  procedure  law,

     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-

    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

    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.

    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.

    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,

    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] any such offense may be  submit-
    29  ted  as a lesser included offense of the applicable first degree offense
    30  when (i) there is a reasonable view of the evidence which would  support
    31  a  finding  that the defendant committed such lesser offense but did not
    32  commit the greater  offense,  and  (ii)  both  parties  consent  to  its
    33  submission.
    34    § 32-a. Subdivision 6 of section 380.50 of the criminal procedure law,

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