Is a juvenile entitled to a trial by jury in a federal juvenile delinquency proceeding?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Torres, 500 F.2d 944 (2nd Cir. 1974):
Appellant maintains that McKeiver v. Pennsylvania, supra, did not determine that a juvenile had no constitutional right to a trial by jury in a federal juvenile delinquency proceeding and that the four cases in three circuits 3 which, relying on McKeiver, held that a juvenile had no such right, were wrongly decided. Appellant seeks to have this court hold that the provision of the Federal Act requiring that juvenile proceedings be without a jury is unconstitutional
