Juveniles have the right to an attorney and the right to remain silent. Juveniles also have the right to confront witnesses against them. These rights were established by the In re Gault Court case. In the 1967 case, 15-year-old Gerald Gault of Phoenix, Arizona, was charged with making indecent telephone calls to a neighbor. His parents were not informed of his arrest. During the hearing that followed, Gault did not have an attorney present and the neighbor was not questioned. The judge sentenced Gault to a reformatory until the age of 21-a period of six years. If Gault had been an adult, his sentence would have been a $50 fine and a few months in jail.
In Re Gault, 387 US 1 (1967)In Re Gault, (1967) is the landmark Supreme Court case that determined juvenile offenders had the same Due Process rights as adults.The Chief Justice in Gault was Earl Warren (1953-1969). Justice Abe Fortas wrote the opinion of the Court.
