N.Y. Criminal Procedure Law § 310.85 (2026)

§ 310.85  Verdict of guilty where defendant not criminally responsible.
  1.  Where a verdict of guilty is rendered with respect to a crime, but
the defendant is not criminally responsible for such crime by reason of
infancy, the court shall proceed as provided in this section.
  2.  If a verdict of guilty also is rendered with respect to a crime
for which the defendant is criminally responsible, or if the defendant
is awaiting sentence upon another criminal conviction or is under a
sentence of imprisonment on another criminal conviction, the verdict
rendered with respect to a crime for which he is not criminally
responsible must be set aside and shall be deemed a nullity.
  3.  In any case where the verdict is not set aside pursuant to
subdivision two of this section, the court must order that the verdict
be deemed vacated and replaced by a juvenile delinquency fact
determination.  Upon so ordering, the court must direct that the action
be removed to the family court in accordance with the provisions of
article seven hundred twenty-five of this chapter.
