Douglas County, Separate Juvenile Court Judge Vernon Daniels
Attorney for Appellant: Lawrence G. Whelan (Whelan Law Office)
Attorney for Appellee: Nathan Barnhill (Douglas County Attorney’s Office)
Juvenile Action: Adjudication
Action Taken by Trial Court: The juvenile court adjudicated the appellant for committing first degree sexual assault.
Assignments of Error on Appeal: On appeal, the Appellant contends that the juvenile court erred in (1) finding the victim’s testimony reliable, credible, probative, and entitled to weight; (2) finding that the State adduced sufficient evidence to support adjudication beyond a reasonable doubt; (3) admitting hearsay testimony by Jada J.; and (4) not allowing testimony of a witness and not considering the offer of proof and exhibit regarding that witness’ testimony.
