forty-one of section 1.20 of this chapter specific factors, one or more
of which reasonably supports the recommendation, showing, (i) mitigating
circumstances that bear directly upon the manner in which the crime was
committed, or (ii) where the defendant was not the sole participant in
the crime, that the defendant's participation was relatively minor
although not so minor as to constitute a defense to the prosecution, or
(iii) possible deficiencies in proof of the crime, or (iv) where the
juvenile offender has no previous adjudications 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 view of the history of the offen-
der, is not likely to be repeated.
