This is how a case is direct filed. The state can file charges against a juvenile in adult court (district court). The direct file system allows Colorado prosecutors under certain circumstances to try juveniles who are 14 years or older as adults. This primarily occurs in situations where it is alleged that the juvenile committed a violent crime. This can lead to a prison sentence.

One
option for some juveniles convicted as adults, is for the judge to
sentence them to a full adult prison sentence, but it is suspended on
condition of successful completion of a sentence at Colorado’s Youthful
Offender System (YOS). YOS is a prison program that aims to prepare
those convicted under direct file age 14-18, and other felony cases age
19-21, to be productive members of society.
