Do Juvenile DV Charges Count as Priors for Adults
My question involves criminal law for the state of: Virginia
Does a juvenile assault and battery count towards in a criminal domestic violence case in Virginia?
1st assault offense was for pushing a bus driver when involved in a fight at age 14. 2nd DV offense was for swinging a crutch at father.
Now charged with new DV offense in Virginia. Does the juvenile assault count? If so, it would be a felony...
Re: Offender Score, Domestic Violence Sentencing
Was the juvenile tried as an adult and was the charge deferred?
Re: Offender Score, Domestic Violence Sentencing
Juvenile was charged as juvenile and sentence was deferred in the place of community service and drug treatment. Records are sealed. Does that count as a prior?
