1. ““This case was tried to the court on March 20, 1975, and- was taken under advisement. I have now examined the exhibits and reviewed the evidence. “It is conceded that Michael is over the age of 16 and that the charges against him involve offenses which fall within the classification of delinquent acts under K. S. A. 38-808. Thus the only issue is whether or not Michael would be amenable to the care, treatment and training program available through the facilities of the juvenile court. In order to sustain the waiver of jurisdiction of the juvenile court in this case, the burden is upon the State to show by substantial evidence that Michael is not amenable to such a program through the facilities of the juvenile court. “Michael’s record was introduced showing that he has had a history of difficulty with the law dating back to age 14. At least two of the offenses for which he was found to be a delinquent involved crimes of violence, i. e.; rape and armed robbery. Michael is a drop out from school and the records show that in his last year he had 105 absences out of 180 days of school. Prior efforts at counseling have proved unsuccessful, and efforts were being made to place him in the Kansas State Vocational and Technical School in Topeka when the latest series of offenses were committed. “Michael was examined by three eminently qualified psychiatrists. Dr. Virgil Harris gave as his opinion that long term, institutional treatment might help Michael, but his opinion was guarded. ”
