    45  this title if, upon consideration of the criteria specified in  subdivi-
    46  sion  two of section 722.22 of this article, it is determined that to do
    47  so would be in the interests of  justice.  Where,  however,  the  felony

     1  following  factors: (i) mitigating circumstances that bear directly upon
     2  the manner in which the crime was committed; or (ii) where the defendant

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

    14  twenty-five of this title and upon consideration of the criteria  speci-
    15  fied  in subdivision two of section 722.22 of this article, it is deter-
    16  mined that to do so would be in the interests of justice. Where,  howev-
    17  er,  the felony complaint charges the adolescent offender with murder in
    18  the second degree as defined in section 125.25 of the penal law, rape in
    19  the first degree as defined in paragraph (a) of subdivision  one,  para-

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

    41  degree, as defined in subdivision one of section  130.50  of  the  penal
    42  law];  or  an  armed  felony  as defined in paragraph (a) of subdivision
    43  forty-one of section 1.20 of this chapter, to the family court  pursuant
    44  to  the provisions of article seven hundred twenty-five of this title if
    45  the court finds one or more of the  following  factors:  (i)  mitigating
    46  circumstances  that bear directly upon the manner in which the crime was
    47  committed; (ii) where the defendant was not the sole participant in  the
    48  crime,  the  defendant's participation was relatively minor although not
    49  so minor as to constitute a defense to the prosecution; or (iii)  possi-
    50  ble  deficiencies in the proof of the crime, and, after consideration of
    51  the factors set forth in subdivision two  of  this  section,  the  court
    52  determined  that  removal  of the action to the family court would be in
    53  the interests of justice.
    54    § 31. Subparagraph (iii) of paragraph (g) of subdivision 5 of  section
    55  220.10  of  the criminal procedure law, as amended by chapter 264 of the
    56  laws of 2003, is amended to read as follows:

        A. 6319--A                         13
 
     1    (iii) Where the indictment  does  not  charge  a  crime  specified  in
     2  subparagraph  (i) of this paragraph, the district attorney may recommend
     3  removal of the action to the family court. Upon making such  recommenda-
     4  tion  the district attorney shall submit a subscribed memorandum setting
     5  forth:  (1) a recommendation that the interests of justice would best be
     6  served by removal of the action to the family  court;  and  (2)  if  the
     7  indictment  charges  a thirteen year old with the crime of murder in the
     8  second degree, or a fourteen or fifteen year old with the crimes of rape
     9  in the first degree as defined in  paragraph  (a)  of  subdivision  one,
    10  paragraph  (a) of subdivision two and paragraph (a) of subdivision three

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

    32  nine  of section 130.25 of the penal law [and criminal sexual act in the
    33  third degree as defined in subdivision three of section  130.40  of  the
    34  penal  law],  are  not  lesser  included  offenses  of rape in the first
    35  degree[, criminal sexual act in the first degree] or any other  offense.
    36  Notwithstanding  the foregoing, [either] any such offense may be submit-
    37  ted as a lesser included offense of the applicable first degree  offense
    38  when  (i) there is a reasonable view of the evidence which would support
    39  a finding that the defendant committed such lesser offense but  did  not
    40  commit  the  greater  offense,  and  (ii)  both  parties  consent to its
    41  submission.
    42    § 32-a. Subdivision 6 of section 380.50 of the criminal procedure law,
