Challenging Juvenile Court Transfer

Summary

If a juvenile case is transferred to adult court without proper certification or waiver, it can be deemed illegal. The Sixth Amendment guarantees the right to effective legal representation, and the Fourteenth Amendment ensures due process, including the right to a hearing before being subjected to Megans Law or SORNA requirements. Misconduct by state actors can lead to civil rights violations under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Consult a legal expert for guidance on challenging these issues.

Hi Jim,
Thank you for sharing detailed information about your situation. Here are some general guidelines regarding jurisdiction and juvenile to adult court transfers in Pennsylvania:
- **Jurisdiction**: A court must have jurisdiction to try a case. Lack of proper jurisdiction can be grounds for dismissal.
- **Juvenile vs. Adult Court**: In Pennsylvania, transferring a juvenile case to adult court typically requires a certification or waiver process.
- **Double Jeopardy**: Being tried twice for the same offense without proper legal grounds could be argued as double jeopardy.
- **Habeas Corpus**: If you are challenging unlawful detention, ensure compliance with all procedural requirements.
Given your complex situation, it may be beneficial to consult directly with a legal expert.
Are you seeking more detailed guidance on any specific point, such as procedural requirements or legal precedents?

Given your complex situation, it may be beneficial to consult directly with a legal expert. Are you seeking more detailed guidance on any specific point, such as procedural requirements or legal precedents

Hi Jim,
Thank you for your patience. Here’s how each point could be argued as illegal based on your description:
- **Jurisdiction**: If the court lacked jurisdiction, it had no legal authority to try the case, making the proceedings and any conviction invalid.
- **Juvenile vs. Adult Court**: Transferring a juvenile case to adult court without proper certification or waiver is against Pennsylvania law, potentially invalidating the transfer and subsequent adult court proceedings.
- **Double Jeopardy**: Being tried for the same offense twice is prohibited under the Fifth Amendment, making any second trial illegal if it covers the same charges without proper grounds.
- **Habeas Corpus**: Failure to comply with procedural requirements when challenging unlawful detention can invalidate the detention itself, potentially leading to release.
Do you need more details on procedural requirements or case precedents for any of these issues?

stealing the child as a probation officer not his is illegal

Hi Jim,
Thank you for your patience. Here’s how the act of a probation officer taking a child unlawfully could be argued as illegal:
- **Federal Kidnapping**: If a probation officer, not assigned to your case, took you unlawfully, it could be considered federal kidnapping under * U.S.C. § *.
- **Abuse of Power**: The probation officer's actions may also constitute abuse of power or misconduct, leading to potential civil rights violations under * U.S.C. § *.
Would you like more detailed information on federal kidnapping laws or civil rights violations?

Hence, the plaintiff could not be charged as a juvenile or adult, and could not be detained, therefore he could not have a record, and cannot have Megan's law or sorna applying to him ever, beyond this the original wrongful convictions, and the juvenile in limbo both prevent all charge, in all cases, including those cases.

Hi Jim,
Thank you for providing that detailed information. Here's a concise breakdown of your argument:
- **Jurisdiction**: If the court never had jurisdiction initially, any charges or convictions are invalid.
- **Juvenile vs. Adult Court**: Without proper certification or waiver to transfer to adult court, the adult court proceedings are invalid.
- **Double Jeopardy**: Being retried for the same offense without proper grounds violates the Fifth Amendment.
- **Unlawful Actions by Probation Officer**: If a probation officer unlawfully took you, it could be federal kidnapping and abuse of power.
- **Megan's Law/SORNA**: If the original conviction is invalid, subsequent requirements like Megan's Law or SORNA should not apply.
Would you like more detailed guidance on any specific point, such as procedural requirements or legal precedents for challenging these issues?

so all sentences for each juvenile, and adult case is illegal

Hi Jim,
Here's a concise summary regarding the legality of your situation:
- **Jurisdiction**: Without jurisdiction, all charges and sentences are invalid.
- **Juvenile vs. Adult Court**: Transfer without certification/waiver invalidates proceedings.

- **Unlawful Actions by Probation Officer**: Could be federal kidnapping and abuse of power.
- **Megan's Law/SORNA**: Invalid original conviction nullifies subsequent requirements.
Would you like more detailed guidance on challenging these issues or specific procedural requirements?

this means the criminal record is illlegal also

Hi Jim,
Yes, based on your detailed explanation, if the court lacked jurisdiction and the proper legal procedures were not followed, your criminal record, including any subsequent requirements under Megan's Law or SORNA, could indeed be considered invalid.
