The Court preferred the existing interpretation of that provision and held that its protection was unavailable where the accused was not shown to be under twenty-one at the relevant time. A belated plea of age raised for the first time before the Supreme Court was also rejected because the record contained no credible, trustworthy evidence to support it.
