Juvenile Offense Facts
The California Juvenile Court System handles cases concerning juveniles.
Juveniles may be picked up by the police either for "delinquency" (committing
a crime) or a "status offense" -- an age-related offense such as truancy.
If a child over 14 commits a very serious offense, the court will hold a "fitness
hearing" to decide whether the child should be treated as an adult and
tried in the adult criminal court system.
The Juvenile Court system has five steps: 1) filing of petition 2) referral
to intake 3) fitness hearing for serious crimes 4) adjudication and 5) disposition.
The potential penalties can be severe; a child under age 16 can be incarcerated
until age 21, and a child over 16 until age 25. Juvenile defendants have
the
right to a lawyer but no right to bail or to a jury trial. It is important
to obtain a skilled criminal defense attorney as soon as possible to obtain
the
best results under the particular facts and law of the child's case.
Attorney Scott R. Cadzow can help you by:
| 1 |
Advising you and keeping you updated at all times on your case status |
2 |
Negotiating to have children released to their parents, rather
than sent to juvenile hall, immediately after arrest. |
| 3 |
Interviewing witnesses and police |
4 |
Gathering evidence supporting child's defenses |
| 5 |
Making court motions. These may include motions
to suppress illegally seized evidence and motions to exclude improper
testimony. |
6 |
Arguing in court against transferring the child's case to the
adult criminal system. |
| 7 |
Evaluating all legal defenses available in the child's case for
the adjudication hearing (the trial). These can include insufficient
evidence, innocence, lack of a criminal intent, and other defenses |
8 |
Representing the child at the juvenile adjudication hearing
(trial) or in a plea bargain, or representing the child in adult criminal
court if the case is transferred there |
| 9 |
Presenting the best legal defenses for your case |
10 |
Seeking alternative sentencing to locked confinement, or the
shortest confinement sentence available. Alternative sentences
(available in some cases) can include probation, restitution, assignment
to community service, placement in a halfway house or foster care,
or placement in a training school |
