      (a)      At sentencing, a court exercising criminal jurisdiction in a case involving a child shall determine whether to transfer jurisdiction to the juvenile court if:

            (1)      as a result of trial or a plea entered under Maryland Rule 4-242, all charges that excluded jurisdiction from the juvenile court under § 3-8A-03(d)(1) or (4) of the Courts Article do not result in a finding of guilty; and

            (2)      (i)      pretrial transfer was prohibited under § 4-202(c)(3) of this subtitle; or

                  (ii)      the court did not transfer jurisdiction after a hearing under § 4-202(b) of this subtitle.

            (3)      the amenability of the child to treatment in an institution, facility, or program available to delinquent children;

            (4)      the nature of the child's acts as proven in the trial or admitted to in a plea entered under Maryland Rule 4-242; and

            (5)      public safety.

      (c)      The court may not consider transferring jurisdiction to the juvenile court under this section if:
