Juveniles at age 16 in the USA can be tried as adults, but it is all dependent on the specifics of the case. Age 15, it is much harder to certify as an adult, and would likely remain in the juvenile system.
Only the local prosecutor for this specific case could answer this question because it requires knowledge of the allegations and the police reports as well as how the victims of this felony were affected.

it depends on many things-did the assault take place on the homeowner within his dwelling? if so this is (in the uk) aggravated burglary and the offender/s will almost certainly get a custodial sentence. was a weapon used? was anybody hospitalised as a result of the assault? if this is the case on both counts-then again i would not be surprised if a custodial sentence was handed out. if on the other hand the assault was maybe a shove or slap in the face and the burglary was say a garage or garden shed-then the offender may get a fine and/or community service.

In the state where I live, burglary is a 1st degree felony and you can get up to a 99 year term for it. Assault is a lesser charge, as long as there are no serious injuries or a weapon. You can get up to 10 years on that charge. 1st offenders with a non-violent history won't get anywhere near that.

You would need to define class of felony, where commited, if weapons were involved, and if person who commited is a adult or can be treated as a young offender. Good Luck
I rechecked after you posted more info and in most cases and States an F2 can get "up to 10 years" unless there are aggrevating circumstances then it may go higher.

It varies from state to state and from crime to crime. While there are some guide lines for punishment of crimes, often times it is the judge who decided the final sentence. If it is too extreme then the guilty party's lawyer can always protest and there is another cycle of stuff about it. It's not a fast nor easy system to understand. Much if it is based on precedence. Or similar cases that have been tried before.

Depends what the felony is. Usually a first termer goes down for 16 months if its nothing major like kidnapping or robbery.

Depends on crime, previous record, evidence/witnesses, and your attitude/demeanor! Go to court looking stupid and have an attitude, you will get the max!

I think it depends on the state and the severity of the crime.
