The charges arose out of a series of demonstrations in the county in late 1968 by black adults and children protesting school assignments and a school consolidation plan. On a finding of delinquency, he was committed to a youth center. And in Williams v. Florida, 399 U. S. 78 (1970), the Court saw no particular magic in a 12-man jury for a criminal case, thus revealing that even jury concepts themselves are not inflexible. I. The cases themselves, which arise out of a series of demonstrations by black adults and juveniles who believed that the Hyde County, North Carolina, school system unlawfully discriminated against black school children, present a paradigm of the circumstances in which there may be a substantial "temptation to use the courts for political ends." Two other cars were brought up behind the Goff car, in succession, for the purpose of pushing it, but the bumpers did not "match". 523, 525, 167 S.E.2d 454, 456 (1969), notwithstanding petitioners' repeated demand for a public hearing. -United States Supreme Court Smith v. Organization of Foster Families for Equality and Reform,2 1977 In each case, the court found that the juvenile had committed "an act for which an adult may be punished by law." None of the men doing the pushing was aware of the approaching car until some of them heard the "screech of brakes". S.Rep. Id. . Railroad, 219 Md. 11, § 247 (1965); S.C.Code Ann. 1 and 2, and need not be repeated at any length here. Such is this case, for behind the facade of delinquency is the crime of forgery. The imposition of the jury trial on the juvenile court system would not strengthen greatly, if at all, the factfinding function, and would, contrarily, provide an attrition of the juvenile court's assumed ability to function in a unique manner. That right existed prior to the adoption of the Constitution, and certainly, whether one is involved in a civil or criminal proceeding of the Family Court in which his "liberty" is to be "taken" "imprisoned" "outlawed" and "banished," he is entitled to a trial by jury. The Court notes that, presently in some states, 18-year-olds can vote. That, however, is the State's privilege, and not its obligation. The Task Force Report, however, also said, id. P. 403 U.

Braswell who, by reason of the chain of circumstances thus begun, is the appellant here. 1 (1969); Miss.Code Ann. Rehabilitating offenders through individualized handling is one way of providing protection, and appropriately the primary way in dealing with children. Joseph McKeiver, then age 16, in May, 1968, was charged with robbery, larceny, and receiving stolen goods (felonies under Pennsylvania law, Pa.Stat.Ann., tit. We noted probable jurisdiction. 1967-1970. The Task Force Report has noted them. Coercive measures, where employed, are considered neither retribution nor punishment. The several cases were consolidated into groups for hearing before District Judge Hallett S. Ward, sitting as a juvenile court. The right to an impartial jury "[i]n all criminal prosecutions" under federal law is guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment. See In re Estes v. Hopp, 73 Wash. 2d 263, 438 P.2d 205 (1968); McMullen v. Geiger, 184 Neb. In Michigan, where juveniles are also entitled to a jury trial, Judge Lincoln of the Detroit Juvenile Court indicates that his court has had less than five jury trials in the year 1969 to 1970. (2) While one regrets its inadequacies, "the juvenile system has available and utilizes much more fully various diagnostic and rehabilitative services" that are "far superior to those available in the regular criminal process." No. The entire group was represented in juvenile court by one attorney, who requested a jury trial and asked that the general public be allowed to attend the hearings.1 Both re- 1966-1969. And the same separate approach to the standard of proof issue is evident from the carefully separated application of the standard, first to the criminal trial and then to the juvenile proceeding, displayed in Winship. The applicable due process standard in juvenile proceedings is fundamental fairness, as developed by In re Gault, 387 U. S. 1, and In re Winship, 397 U. S. 358, which emphasized factfinding procedures, but, in our legal system, the jury is not a necessary component of accurate factfinding. 118, 122-123, 148 A.2d 366, Maryland Rule 1087. It is, of course, not our task to determine as a matter of policy whether a "clinical" or "punitive" approach to these problems should be taken by the States. But one cannot say that, in our legal system, the jury is a necessary component of accurate factfinding. He is 49 or will soon be. See In re Winship, 397 U. S. 358, 397 U. S. 359 and n. 1 (1970). However, because that appellant's hearing had antedated the decisions in Duncan v. Louisiana, 391 U. S. 145 (1968), and Bloom v. Illinois, 391 U. S. 194 (1968), and because Duncan and Bloom had been given only prospective application by DeStefano v. Woods, 392 U. S. 631 (1968), DeBacker's case was deemed an inappropriate one for resolution of the jury trial issue. The child who feels that he has been dealt with fairly, and not merely expediently or as speedily as possible, will be a better prospect for rehabilitation. 1969); Okla.Stat.Ann., Tit. disposed of McKeiver as well as two other appeals. RONALD LEE BURRUS. I concur in the judgments in these cases, however, on the ground that criminal jury trials are not constitutionally required of the States, either as a matter of Sixth Amendment law or due process. In re Winship, 397 U. S. 358. In Re Burrus, 275 N.C. 517, 531, 169 S.E.2d 879, 888 (1969). Sears v. B. and O. Nevertheless, the consequences of criminal guilt are so severe that the Constitution mandates a jury to prevent abuses of official power by insuring, where demanded, community participation in imposing serious deprivations of liberty, and to provide a hedge against corrupt, biased, or political justice. 313, 316, 159 N.E.2d 82, 85 (1959); In re Perham, 104 N.H. 276, 184 A.2d 449 (1962). See In re Burrus, 136 U.S., at 594 . All these ideas were carefully inserted in our Constitution. 89-4244 (ED La. The juvenile is constitutionally entitled to a jury trial. So much depends on the availability of resources, on the interest and commitment of the public, on willingness to learn, and on understanding as to cause and effect and cure. The car was hit by a truck overtaking from the rear. is an alternative permitting States to dispense with jury trials). 403 U.S. 528 (1971). § 260.155 subd. A sudden emergency instruction was also given. 128, 275 N.C. 517, 169 S.E.2d 879, affirmed. Taking into consideration the social background and other facts, the judge, during the dispositional phase, will determine what disposition is in the best interests of the child and society. Find Christopher Burrus for free! This has produced in them a maturity which is normally acquired much later in life. Indeed, the Court specifically has refrained from going that far: "We do not mean by this to indicate that the hearing to be held must conform with all of the requirements of a criminal trial, or even of the usual administrative, hearing; but we do hold that the hearing must measure up to the essentials of due process and fair treatment.". In fact, the very argument of expediency, suggesting "supermarket" or "assembly line" justice is one of the most forceful arguments in favor of granting jury trials. For example, during the first seven months of 1970, the two divisions of the Denver Juvenile Court have had fewer than two dozen jury trials, in both delinquency and dependency-neglect cases. ", "What emerges, then, is this: in theory, the juvenile court was to be helpful and rehabilitative rather than punitive. Due process demands that the trier of facts should not be acquainted with any of the facts of the case or have knowledge of any of the circumstances, whether through officials in his own department or records in his possession. 403 U. S. 545-550. §§ 7A-277 and 7A-278(1) (1969). Of course, there are strong arguments that juries are desirable when dealing with the young, and States are free to use juries if they choose. The Court refrained from deciding whether a State must provide appellate review in juvenile cases or a transcript or recording of the hearings. 11. We so conclude for a number of reasons: 1. 4. "The judges of the Philadelphia Juvenile Court exercise varying degrees of control over admission to the courtroom, but the press is generally admitted. Braswell appealed from the judgment entered upon that verdict. [Footnote 2/1]. All the litigants here agree that the applicable due process standard in juvenile proceedings, as developed by Gault and Winship, is fundamental fairness. That willingness to understand and treat people who threaten public safety and security should be nurtured, not turned aside as hopeless sentimentality, both because it is civilized and because social protection itself demands constant search for alternatives to the crude and limited expedient of condemnation and punishment. There have been, at one and the same time, both an appreciation for the juvenile court judge who is devoted, sympathetic, and conscientious, and a disturbed concern about the judge who is untrained and less than fully imbued with an understanding approach to the complex problems of childhood and adolescence. P. 403 U. S. 543. It will provide a safeguard against the judge who may be prejudiced against a minority group or who may be prejudiced against the juvenile brought before him because of some past occurrence which was heard by the same judge. Justice Roberts then concluded that such factors do inhere in the Pennsylvania juvenile system: (1) Although realizing that "faith in the quality of the juvenile bench is not an entirely satisfactory substitute for due process," id. But where a State uses its juvenile court proceedings to prosecute a juvenile for a criminal act and to order "confinement" until the child reaches 21 years of age, or, where the child, at the threshold of the proceedings, faces that prospect, then he is entitled to the same procedural protection as an adult. Had the Commission deemed this vital to the integrity of the juvenile process, or to the handling of juveniles, surely a recommendation or suggestion to this effect would have appeared. A statute must be examined in light of the circumstances in each case, and respondent has the burden of showing that the statute provides inadequate warning as to the conduct it governs or is incapable of uniform judicial administration. § 24-2420 (Supp. [In] In the matter of Reis, [Footnote 3/1] this Court indicated the inadequacies of the procedure under which our court operates. There was evidence that the car lights were on. Yet the Court did not automatically and peremptorily apply those rights to the juvenile proceeding. “Even so, impossible standards of statutory clarity are not required by the constitution. As MR. JUSTICE BLACK said in In re Gault, supra, at 387 U. S. 61 (concurring): "Where a person, infant or adult, can be seized by the State, charged, and convicted for violating a state criminal law, and then ordered by the State to be confined for six years, I think the Constitution requires that he be tried in accordance with the guarantees of all the provisions of the Bill of Rights made applicable to the States by the Fourteenth Amendment. In the North Carolina cases, petitioners are students, from 11 to 15 years of age, who were charged under one of three criminal statutes: (1) "disorderly conduct" in a public building, N.C.Gen.Stat. As a result, there was interference with traffic. 11, § 243(4)(a) (1965). MR. JUSTICE BLACK described this as "a right which is surely one of the fundamental aspects of criminal justice in the English-speaking world," 396 U.S. at 396 U. S. 34, and MR. JUSTICE DOUGLAS described it as a right required by the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments "where the delinquency charged is an offense that, if the person were an adult, would be a crime triable by jury." Too often, the juvenile court judge falls far short of that stalwart, protective, and communicating figure the system envisaged. In re Burrus,1 1890 [T]he liberty interest in family privacy has its source, and its contours are ordinarily to be sought, not in state law, but in intrinsic human rights, as they have been understood in this Nation’s history and tradition. If, in its wisdom, any State feels the jury trial is desirable in all cases, or in certain kinds, there appears to be no impediment to its installing a system embracing that feature. ", I added that, by reason of the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments, the juvenile is entitled to a jury trial, "as a matter of right where the delinquency charged is an offense that, if the person were an adult, would be a crime triable by jury. The phrase "judgment of his peers" means at common law, a trial by a jury of twelve men, State vs. Simmons, 61 Kan. 752. § 460(b)(3) carved out by Oestereich v. Selective Service System Local Board No. If I felt myself constrained to follow Duncan v. Louisiana, 391 U. S. 145 (1968), which extended the Sixth Amendment right of jury trial to the States, I would have great difficulty, upon the premise seemingly accepted in my Brother BLACKMUN's opinion, in holding that the jury trial right does not extend to state juvenile proceedings. The devastating commentary upon the system's failures as a whole, contained in the President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice, Task Force Report: Juvenile Delinquency and Youth Crime 7-9 (1967), reveals the depth of disappointment in what has been accomplished. If that premise be correct, then I do not see why, given Duncan, juveniles as well as adults would not be constitutionally entitled to jury trials, so long as juvenile delinquency systems are not restructured to fit their original purpose. Under this rule of strict construction, courts have required express restrictions on intestate or testamentary dispositions. Get current address, cell phone number, email address, relatives, friends and a lot more. By granting the juvenile the right to a jury trial, we would, in fact, be protecting the accused from the judge who is under pressure to move the cases, the judge with too many cases and not enough time. . Aaron Burrus was born in 1971. His testimony was not contradicted on any significant point. They are also free, if they extend criminal court safeguards to juvenile court adjudications, frankly to embrace condemnation, punishment, and deterrence as permissible and desirable attributes of the juvenile justice system. 4.

(a) The Court has not heretofore ruled that all rights constitutionally assured to an adult accused are to be imposed in a juvenile proceeding. Since Gault and since Duncan, the great majority of States, in addition to Pennsylvania and North Carolina, that have faced the issue have concluded that the considerations that led to the result in those two cases do not compel trial by jury in the juvenile court. May 26, 1971 Frolt The Mitt Justice No. ", "Nevertheless, study of the juvenile courts does not necessarily lead to the conclusion that the time has come to jettison the experiment and remand the disposition of children charged with crime to the criminal courts of the country. App. He had stopped at a red light about a quarter of a mile back. Held: A trial by jury is not constitutionally required in the adjudicative phase of a state juvenile court delinquency proceeding. This does not, however, mean that the interests protected by the Sixth Amendment's guarantee of jury trial in all "criminal prosecutions" are of no importance in the context of these cases. A request for a jury trial in each case was denied. N.C.Gen.Stat. The Court focused on, "the proceedings by which a determination is made as to whether a juvenile is a 'delinquent' as a result of alleged misconduct on his part, with the consequence that he may be committed to a state institution". 1969); Mich.Comp.Laws § 712 A. Both of the instant cases were tried in Philadelphia County.
