A-23-0061 In re Interest of Daniel S. A Child Under Eighteen Years of Age, State of Nebraska (Appellee) v. Daniel S. (Appellant)
Appeal from Separate Juvenile Court for Sarpy County, Judges Sarah M. Moore and Jonathon D. Crosby
Attorneys: Dennis P. Marks (Deputy Sarpy County Public Defender for Appellant) and Andrew T. Erickson (Deputy Sarpy County Attorney for Appellee).
Juvenile: Juvenile Detention Alternative
Proceedings below: After Appellant was arrested for burglary and theft, he was released home with services as an alternative to detention. At a detention hearing the next day, the juvenile court authorized Appellant to be released on the CARE Program, a detention alternative. On its own motion, the Supreme Court ordered this case to be transferred from the docket of the Court of Appeals to its docket.
Issues: Appellant makes two assignments of error: 1) The Juvenile probation officer erred in determining that an alternative form of detention was appropriate because further supervision of the Juvenile was a matter of immediate and urgent necessity for the protection of persons in the community; and 2) The Juvenile Court Judge erred by authorizing an alternative form of detention after she concluded that Daniel did not appear to be a threat to the community.
