Why You Should Call a Juvenile Defense Attorney

The recent case of Superior Court v. Nguyen held that a juvenile adjudicated a ward of the court in Juvenile Court for a crime that would be considered a strike under California’s Three Strike Laws will count as a strike if that juvenile offender commits another felony. In a 6-1 Supreme Court decision, Nguyen allows prosecutors to allege a prior juvenile strike for purposes of increasing the punishment on any new felony committed as an adult. It is crucial that your criminal defense attorney know and understand this important case.
