When a minor faces criminal charges in juvenile court, the process differs significantly from adult court. There is no jury, and the Juvenile Court Judge determines guilt or innocence and decides the appropriate consequences.
In juvenile court, the judge has wide discretion but must follow statutory guidelines. The judge can impose two primary types of sentences in juvenile crime cases:
Probation: This can include community service, counseling, writing a letter of apology, or other stipulations related to the offense.
Commitment: This involves various levels of risk programs:
In some severe cases, such as murder or aggravated battery, a minor may be tried as an adult if the State Attorney deems it necessary.
