What are the rights of a 17 yr old when charged with drinking in ga?

∙ 12y ago
A minor charged with this offense, has all the rights of an adult. But they have no "special" rights. If he can present testimony to counter the charge, he may do so.
Added: In Georgia, 17 year olds are considered adults when charged criminally. A 17 y/o will appear in adult court to face the charges, and must act as an adult, meaning he/she cannot rely on parents to assist.
