In re Wolff
In re Wolff
Opinion of the Court
The record shows that the proceedings in the juvenile court were in all respects regular, and that evidence was taken showing the defendant’s character and the nature of his crime, that this was done in his presence and that he was represented by able counsel. There is no ground for the claim that the proceedings were irregular or that there was anything unfair therein to the defendant. A very brief statement of the facts would suffice to show that it was not a fit case for the juvenile court. Special findings in such a proceeding were not necessary, nor was the court required to set some other day for the hearing.
We add, further, that even if there were irregularities or defects in the proceedings under the juvenile court law, the defendant, if he wished to take advantage thereof, or to object to the jurisdiction of the superior court after the information against him is filed, could do so only by presenting his objections in the superior court, and he cannot raise the objections by a proceeding in habeas corpus after conviction.
The application for the writ is denied.
Shaw, J., Olney, J., Lawlor, J., Lennon, J., and Wilbur, J., concurred.
