California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. G.Y. (In re G.Y.), H040722 (Cal. App. 2015):
Moreover, even assuming that the "offenses" referred to in section 781 must be felonies, appellant admitted that he committed three felonies, including a felony offense listed in section 707, subdivision (b). The subsequent reduction of the felony to a misdemeanor did not alter the fact that a juvenile court had previously found that he committed a felony offense listed in section 707, subdivision (b). When the court later granted a motion to reduce the offense from a felony to a misdemeanor, "the offense became a misdemeanor from that point on, but not retroactively. [Citation.]" (People v. Kennedy (2011) 194 Cal.App.4th 1484, 1492.)
