Supreme Court of Virginia.

January 15, 2010.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

William P. Walker for appellant Dwayne Jamar Brown.

Rena G. Berry for appellant Demetrious Omar Brown.

Susan M. Harris, Assistant Attorney General (William C. Mims, Attorney General; on briefs), for appellee.

Present: KOONTZ, KINSER, LEMONS, GOODWYN, and MILLETTE, JJ., and CARRICO and RUSSELL, S.JJ.

OPINION BY Justice S. BERNARD GOODWYN.

In these appeals, we consider whether a juvenile who has been tried as an adult and found guilty of a crime that has a mandatory minimum sentence may be sentenced to a juvenile disposition, pursuant to Code § 16.1-272, rather than the mandatory minimum sentence. As a preliminary matter, we also consider whether the Commonwealth properly preserved its bases for appeal as required by Rule 5A:18.
