204 A.3d 361 (Atlantic Reporter, Third Series)

Commonwealth v. Taylor, N.

Opinion

PER CURIAM

AND NOW, this 12 th day of March, 2019, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is GRANTED. The issues, rephrased for clarity, are:

a. Does a juvenile court violate the Fifth Amendment by holding a juvenile's failure to admit guilt against him during a certification hearing?
b. Did the Superior Court erroneously conclude that a juvenile court does not abuse its discretion by holding a juvenile's failure to admit guilt against him during a certification hearing because the court also considered other statutorily-required factors when making its certification decision?
