(Modified upon denial of rehearing 8/1/14.) Respondent minor was prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced under extended jurisdiction juvenile (EJJ) prosecution statute for first-degree murder. Statute is not an unconstitutional violation of Apprendi as it is not an adjudicatory statute, but a dispositional one, as it does not determine a respondent's guilt or the specific sentence. (LAMPKIN and PALMER,concurring.)
