Lasley v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM

Temporary writs of prohibition were granted in these cases pending a decision regarding the Juvenile Code of Arkansas of 1975.

Our decision of May 27, 1980, in Sargent v. Cole, held that a juvenile over 15 years of age, charged with a criminal act, could be tried in circuit court. Therefore, the temporary writs granted in these cases are dissolved and the appeals are dismissed.
