Legally too young to be tried as the menace you clearly are.

means Relating to young people who are not yet legally adults, or behaving in a way that's immature and childish.

from From Latin 'juvenilis,' from 'juvenis' meaning 'young person' or 'youth' — the same root that gives us 'junior' and is a cousin of 'young' itself, both tracing back to an ancient Indo-European root for youthfulness. The Romans used 'juvenis' for anyone in that stretch of life past childhood but not yet weighed down by seniority — so the word has always carried a whiff of 'not quite grown, not quite excused.'
