Introduction To Juvenile Hearings And Franklin Hearings For Evaluators And Attorneys
There is a wave of hearings occurring in California courts as a result of the passing of Proposition 57 and the case of People v. Franklin, both occurring in 2016. Prop 57 eliminates the authority of prosecutors to directly file petitions in criminal (i.e., adult) court and requires that the juvenile court hold a hearing and determine if a transfer to criminal court is appropriate.
Per the Franklin ruling, individuals who were under 23 years old when they committed a crime for which the punishment may be life in prison must be afforded adequate opportunity to make a record of mitigating evidence tied to their youth, such as cognitive ability, character, and social and family background. Such information may include evaluations and testimony and will be relevant in their eventual youth offender parole hearings, at which point any subsequent growth and increased maturity shall also be considered. The right to have a record of this information applies to current cases, as well as those previously adjudicated.
Evaluators are being asked to weigh in on the above matters and provide psychological profiles to the Court, but where to begin? What legal questions must be answered? What do judges and attorneys need to know? Which assessment methods yield the most relevant information? How can attorneys ensure that their evaluators address the heart of the issue?
These questions and more will be posed to a panel consisting of a forensic psychologist and legal professionals with experience participating in these hearings, with the aim of educating attendees about the necessary elements of these evaluations. It is estimated that thousands of these hearings will take place in the coming year. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to be ahead of the curve!
