§ 60.10 Authorized disposition; juvenile offender.
1. When a juvenile offender is convicted of a crime, the
court shall sentence the defendant to imprisonment in accordance
with section 70.05 or sentence him upon a youthful offender
finding in accordance with section 60.02 of this chapter.
2. Subdivision one of this section shall apply when
sentencing a juvenile offender notwithstanding the provisions of

other than a juvenile offender who has been adjudicated a
youthful offender pursuant to section 720.20 of the criminal
procedure law, as a previous or predicate felony offender under
section 70.04, 70.06, 70.08 or 70.10, when sentencing a person
who commits a felony after he has reached the age of sixteen.
