Waiver Form With Advisements Stipulations Declarations Findings And Orders {MSC-JV-241}

MSC-JV-241 - WAIVER FORM WITH ADVISEMENTS, STIPULATIONS, DECLARATIONS, FINDINGS, AND ORDERS. This form is used by the Juvenile Justice Division of the Superior Court of California, County of Merced, in juvenile delinquency proceedings. It allows a minor to formally admit to or plead no contest to criminal offenses listed in a petition filed by the District Attorney. By completing and signing this form, the minor waives their constitutional and legal rights, including the right to a trial, to remain silent, to confront and cross-examine witnesses, to present evidence, and to appeal the adjudication and any resulting orders. The form also informs the minor of various legal consequences that may result from the plea, such as being placed on probation, being removed from their home, being committed to a secure facility, paying fines and restitution, and experiencing immigration consequences if they are not a U.S. citizen. Specific advisements are also included for cases involving firearms, arson, sex offenses, narcotics, and driving under the influence. The form ensures that the minor has reviewed and understood all rights and consequences with their attorney and that the plea is made freely, knowingly, and voluntarily. The attorney and judge also sign the form to confirm that the plea is valid and supported by a factual basis. In some cases, interpreters may also provide language assistance to ensure full understanding. www.FormsWorkflow.com
