Cauthen v. Booker

1 Citing case

  1. Miller v. State

    2008 KA 810 (Miss. Ct. App. 2009)   Cited 6 times
    In Miller, the defendant Miller, who was charged as being an accessory after the fact to murder, argued that the circuit court erred by failing to instruct the jury as to the elements of murder.

    As previously stated, the youth court did not have jurisdiction over Miller's case. "Since the Youth Court Act did not apply, parental notification was unnecessary." See Cauthen v. Booker, 769 So.2d 227, 229 (ΒΆ 6) (Miss.Ct.App. 2000) (holding that the Youth Court Law did not apply because the defendant's actions fell outside of the scope of the youth court's jurisdiction). The record clearly shows that Miller gave statements to the police knowingly and voluntarily.
