    printer friendly version

    Question: What happens to a 14 year old after arraignment?

    Answer: If the 14 year old is charged in juvenile court, he is advised of the charges against him at the arraignment (which is called an advisory in juvenile court) and does one of the following:

    -enters a plea,

    -requests a trial (called an adjudication in juvenile court) or

    -requests a non-witness adjudication if a plea is anticipated but not yet negotiated.

    If the juvenile is in court for a crime (called a delinquency in juvenile court), the trial must take place within 45 days if he is in jail or 60 days if he is out of jail. The juvenile can waive his right to a trial within that time limit or the judge can find extraordinary circumstances exist and these time limits can be extended. If the juvenile requests a non-witness adjudication, the time between the advisory and non-witness is not counted if the juvenile later requests a trial (adjudication).

    if a juvenile did the crime and can get a plea bargin then they should be able to do that and if it goes to trial and they end up getting charged all the way then so be it.
