1. “"In April 1983, a petition alleging delinquency was filed against appellant James Winston Minor, who was at that time 15 years old. The petition charged him with murder and was later amended to charge capital murder. In June 1983, the district attorney moved to transfer. Minor appealed his transfer to this court. We remanded the case with instructions. While the case was on appeal, the juvenile court entered an amended transfer order. We had no choice but to rule that the juvenile court did not have jurisdiction of the case while jurisdiction lay in the appellate court system."”
