I have a jury trial coming up against a juvenile certified as an adult for murder. He gave a great confession (totally admissible), but if the defense attorney starts questioning the "voluntariness", should I have the JP magistrate come to testify? | ||

I always have the JP on standby and don't forget to put him on the witness list too. | |||

If you know that is the issue, have the JP ready. Don't forget to speak w/ JP ahead of time. I tried and AGG Robbery once, and the JP testified that he might have admonished the child on the wrong charge, with the wrong range of punishment. Conviction reversed by COA. | |||
