Re: Juvenile charge..what will happen
Even if the child was told to sell the cigarettes, he had personal responsibility under the law NOT to sell teh cigarettes. Following orders doesn't work in the criminal context. HOWEVER, there seems to be a rabid system at work for hauling a juvenile into juvenile court for doing what his boss told him to do. Fight it.
