Good news/bad news.
The state law in California prohibits the prosecution of children who
are less than 14 years old. Perhaps
disturbingly, there are some situations where someone 14 years of age or older
can be tried as an adult. There are
certain crimes where your kid could be tried in adult court. That should send shivers up your spine!
Just like an adult, kids who are as young as 14 in The Big
Bear State can be charged with an infraction, a misdemeanor, or even a
felony. The minor cannot be charged with
Class A felonies, for instance. Can
juvenile crimes be sealed? That means
that the offense is deemed to have never occurred at all!
You see, this is a slippery slope indeed. The thought of having your kid’s life altered
forever when he or she is still a young teenager is horrifying. Do Not let another day pass. Call the law office of San Jose juvenile
defense attorney William Chestnut immediately.
Bill has been defending kids in court for decades. That phone number is (408) 298-6990.
