Minn. R. Juv. P. 12.02
As amended through October 28, 2024
If a demand for speedy trial is made, the omnibus hearing shall not extend the time for trial unless the court finds good cause for continuance of the trial date.
Minn. R. Juv. P. 12.02
When the same judge is assigned to determine the admissibility of evidence in a suppression hearing and the guilt of the juvenile in the same proceeding, the juvenile's basic right to a fair trial by an impartial tribunal with a determination of guilt based on admissible evidence may be compromised. E.g., In re J.P.L., 359 N.W.2d 622 (Minn. Ct. App. 1984). Continuances of trial the time established by Minn. R. Juv. Del. P. 13.02 are not recommended. However, the child's right to a fair trial will justify a short continuance where the child seeks reassignment of the judge pursuant toMinn. R. Juv. Del. P. 22.
References in this rule to "child's counsel" include the child who is proceeding pro se. Minn. R. Juv. Del. P. 1.01.
