ENM Law News: Successful Juvenile Court Outcome

by | Feb 24, 2018 | Uncategorized | 0 comments

The mother of a juvenile charged with Receiving Stolen Property and Possession of a Small Amount of Marijuana came to ENM Law for help with her son’s case after years of representation by other attorneys. This juvenile had been given a consent decree (basically ARD for juveniles), but was continually violating his supervision by failing drug tests and was in and out of juvenile placements for over 18 months. While in placement, he was prescribed medications for mental illness. He was compliant with those medications while at the juvenile placement and continued to take them after he was released awaiting a violation hearing. However, at that violation hearing he was taken into custody again and was not given any of the mental health medications during the 60 days that he was incarcerated. It was at this point that Attorney Ebner stepped in to represent the juvenile. After hearing Attorney Ebner’s arguments on behalf of her client, the juvenile judge found that the client was not in willful violation of his supervision because the client had been denied his necessary medication during his 60 day incarceration.
