Children and teenagers make mistakes - that's a fact. The truth of the matter is that many teens are impressionable and susceptible to peer pressure and influence from true criminals who may promise them the world in exchange for carrying out drug runs or deliveries. Don't allow your son or daughter to be punished for this. Focus instead on rehabilitation and work with a defense lawyer who can protect your child's rights.
The Juvenile Court System in Florida
The Juvenile court system is different than the regular adult court system and criminal process. For instance, there are no jury trials in a Florida Juvenile court trial. The Juvenile court official alone will evaluate the evidence and make a decision in regards to guilt and sentencing. This is just one of many differences. In addition, the arresting officer has more leeway in regards to whether he or she will actually arrest your child. Some lesser offenses will result in a warning or sometimes a warning delivered directly to the minor's parents or guardians.
Regardless of the charges your son or daughter may be facing, only an experienced attorney will have any chance of obtaining a favorable outcome in Juvenile court. Gainesville Juvenile criminal defense attorney Robert G. Whittel has the experience and persistence it takes to be effective in or out of Juvenile court.
