A-20-180, In re Interest of Gabriel P.
Scotts Bluff County Court, Judge Kristin D. Mickey
Attorney for Appellant: William Madelung (Madelung Law Office)
Attorney for Appellee: Danielle Larson (Scotts Bluff County Attorney’s Office)
Juvenile Action: Adjudication of minor based on sexual assault in the first degree and minor in possession
Action Taken by Trial Court: Following an adjudication hearing, the juvenile court found beyond a reasonable doubt that Gabriel committed the crimes of sexual assault in the first degree and being a minor in possession of alcohol. The court adjudicated him as being a juvenile within the meaning of Neb. Rev. Stat. § 43-247(1) and (2).
Assignments of Error on Appeal: Did the juvenile court err in finding that the State proved its case beyond a reasonable doubt? Did the juvenile court deny Gabriel’s right to confront his accuser under U.S. Const. amend. VI and Neb. Const. art. 1, § 11?
