was not the sole participant in the crime, that the defendant's  partic-
ipation  was  relatively  minor although not so minor as to constitute a

the  crime,  or (iv) where the juvenile offender has no previous adjudi-
cations of having committed a  designated  felony  act,  as  defined  in
subdivision  eight  of section 301.2 of the family court act, regardless
of the age of the offender at the time of commission of  the  act,  that
the  criminal act was not part of a pattern of criminal behavior and, in
