This question needs to be clarified first!
You mean she was charged with a crime, and punishment was deferred on the condition she obtain her diploma or GED, and she did not??
If this is so, it is possible the Juvenile Judge can retain jurisdiction for some time, yes, even though an adult now, but, Due Process requires he timely impose the original sentence so the case is adjudicated.
He can't come back in 16 years and impose sentence, if this is what was meant by him saying age 34.
Judges spout off alot from the bench. It is like saying to a defendant "If I ever see you in my court again, I'll lock you up for 100 years"!
