Is our juvenile detention statute unconstitutional?
We have a defense attorney alleging that our detention hearing findings, especially with regard to the suitable supervision finding, is a violation of due process. Has anyone ever dealt with this constitutional argument before and is there any case law that shows our code to be constitutional?
