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.
