Who hear and decide on evidence in a court case?
Judge and mocercy

Formal processing of a juvenile offense through the juvenile court?
Formal HearingIf, upon assessment of a juvenile's case, a formal hearing is deemed necessary, an initial decision must be made as to how the case will be heard. In many states, specified cases may be heard in either juvenile or criminal court. In such situations the prosecutor is generally given the liberty to decide where the case will be tried. Most cases involving juveniles fall under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court. However, in some states, laws have been instituted that require particularly egregious offenses to be tried in criminal court. Juvenile Court HearingsJuvenile courts receive two petitions from prosecutors: "delinquency petitions" and "waiver petitions." A delinquency petition asks a judge to declare a youth "delinquent," and a waiver petition asks the juvenile court to forfeit its authority over a case (that by precedent or law would fall under its jurisdiction) and transfer it to criminal court. A delinquency petition informs the judge of the allegations against a youth and asks the judge to "adjudicate," (hear and judge) the case in a formal hearing. During an adjudicatory hearing the testimony of witnesses and the facts of the case are heard. If the juvenile is found "delinquent" by the judge (or in some states, by a jury), a "disposition hearing" is scheduled. In the interim, the probation office is tasked with the responsibility of evaluating the youth and recommending a course of action for the court to take. Probation officials will take into account the results of any studies that have been made of the youth. Often these include "psychological evaluations" and "diagnostic tests." The "disposition plan" advises the court on which of the available options would best benefit the youth and the community.

Describe a juvenile trial is like?
Juvenile offenders are not adjudicated under the same methods as adults. There is no jury trial but rather a hearing in front of the presiding judge of the juvenile court. The juvenile is entitled to legal representation and the sentencing/decision making is made solely by the judge based upon all the pertinent factors of the case.
When can the plantiff dismiss a case without prejudice?
The plaintiff cannot - that is a judge's prerogative. The plaintiff can REQUEST that a judge consider ruling that way, but it is up to the judge as to whether he will grant it or not.
What does a prosecutor have to prove to get a juvenile into criminal court?
That you committed the offense with which you were charged. This is dependent upon what you mean by criminal court. If you mean adult court then you're talking about having a juvenile case transferred to adult court. Fr a prosecutor to do this he has to petition to the juvenile judge that this case should be transferred to adult court, either because of the severity of the charges or because of the frequency at which the juvenile continues to commit delinquent acts. For a prosecutor to prosecute the case into juvenile court there must be enough evidence to show probable cause that the juvenile committed a delinquent act (delinquent acts range from crimes - misdemeanors or felonies - to acts that can only be committed by juveniles, such as truancy and runaway behavior.
