LEGISLATIVE RESPONSE

I truly wonder how the legislature is going to respond. Personally I prefer that the juvenile system be reformed and return to a parens patrie approach. The court should be more paternalistic. I also hope that the language of the statute where it basically "used to say" that no order of the court should be construed to be a "criminal act" or conviction be returned/reinstated, and that Lamunyon and Hitt is reversed by legislation. If this doesn't happen then the right to trial by jury should always exist!
