FILE - In this Feb. 20, 2019 file photo, State Sens. Sylvia Santana, D-Detroit, and Peter Lucido, R-Shelby Township, speak with reporters after a news conference at the Capitol in Lansing, Mich. State lawmakers are close to ending Michigan's status as one of the few states where 17-year-old offenders are automatically prosecuted as adults. The state Senate overwhelmingly approved bills Wednesday, Oct. 16, 2019, a day after the House voted. Starting in October 2021, Michigan's age at which defendants are considered adults would be 18 instead of 17. Prosecutors could still try 14-, 15-, 16- and 17-year-olds as adults for certain violent offenses, such as murder and rape. Santana and Lucido were sponsors of the bill. (AP Photo/David Eggert File)
