You could ask to have it reopened and changed, but that would require hiring a lawyer. A pubilc defender won't be able to help with that. There is no certainty that it can be done, but it is at least worth getting a free consultation with a lawyer to check on. In some ways, because juvenile records are confidential, it doesn't matter as much as it would with an adult. If any answer on helps you, mine or someone else’s, please mark it as "helpful" or "best answer" to help know which answers to show others.

No. The law is retroactive but only as to offenses committed prior to the effective date of September 28th, 2012 that an individual hasn't been convicted of yet. Since the juvenile is already convicted the change in law doesn't help. Sorry. www.becklawofficellc.com
