A-18-260, In re Interest of Cole J.
Lancaster County Separate Juvenile Court, Judge Linda S. Porter
Attorney for Appellant: Joe Nigro and Mark D. Carraher (Public Defender’s Office)
Attorney for Appellee: Margeaux K. Fox (Lancaster County Attorney’s Office)
Civil: Truancy; adjudication
Action Taken by Trial Court: The juvenile court found that Cole J. was habitually truant from school between the dates of August 24, 2016, and November 21, 2016, and thus adjudicated him as a juvenile defined by Neb. Rev. Stat. § 43-247(3)(b) (Reissue 2016).
Assignments of Error on Appeal: Appellant alleges that the juvenile court erred by (1) receiving an exhibit over hearsay and foundation objections; (2) receiving evidence of actions taken outside the time period alleged in the petition; and (3) relying on insufficient evidence in adjudicating him.
