Re: juvenile/ withdraw plea?

He can sit down with an attorney to explore if he can and should withdraw the plea. While technically he might be able to do so, withdrawal of the plea means he will certainly have to go to trial.

He should explore this option with the lawyer who represented him. If he really wants to withdraw the plea, his lawyer has the duty to help him do it.
