An uneducated friend tells you he just finished with a hearing in juvenile court. You ask him what the hearing was, but he didn't know what it was called. You ask him to describe what happened in the hearing. He tells you that he remembers one of the people saying something about hearsay and how it wasn't allowed. He also remembered something said about cross-examination. Based on this
information, what kind of hearing did your uneducated friend likely attend?
What will be an ideal response?
The answer should include an appropriate amount of the following information:
• An adjudication hearing for juveniles is equivalent to the trial in adult court.
• It is the point at which the judge reviews the charges as described in the petition, hears testimony from the parties involved, and decides whether the youth committed the offense.
• Hearsay is prohibited, and the case must be proved beyond a reasonable doubt.
• Youths have the right to protect themselves against self-incrimination, and they may cross-examine witnesses and victims.
• Attorneys and prosecutors are likely to be present.
