Confidentiality: the state of being secret
Sealed: established irrevocably
Probable Cause: evidence sufficient to warrant an arrest or search and seizure
Adult: a fully developed person from maturity onward
Rule 20, the transfer from a juvenile court to an adult court, states that in order for a juvenile to be tried as an adult they must be between 14 and 17 years old, and will have had to commit one or more of these 7 crimes: murder, sexually assault, armed robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, treason, arson, kidnapping, and the manufacturing and distribution of narcotics. I would only consider this for especially violent crimes or for repeat offenders.
Rule 49, the confidentially of juvenile records, states that all juvenile proceedings are not open to the public. Your records are sealed from public view and media coverage is not permitted. Furthermore rule 50, states that juvenile records are erased one year after a person turns 18. This is done to allow a fresh start for young adult who have made mistakes in their youth. The records are sealed and can only be reopened by court order. They are kept at the at the circuit court in a manner that prevents anyone from discover the name of the offender.
