Description
There are three issues raised on appeal in this case. The first issue is whether the juvenile court, hearing an application for waiver of jurisdiction under sec. 48.18, Stats., 1 abused its discretion in finding that the petitioner was not "mentally ill" under the statute and when it decided, partly on that basis, to waive its jurisdiction. The second issue is whether certain evidence obtained by electronic monitoring of a conversation of the petitioner was illegally obtained under secs. 968.27-31 2 and improperly admitted at the waiver hearing so as to invalidate the waiver granted by the juvenile court. The third issue is whether the juvenile court erred when in proceeding under sec. 48.18(5) it admitted and weighed evidence as to available treatment programs within the adult correctional system. This matter originated in the juvenile branch of the circuit court for St. Croix county, the Honorable Robert F. Pfiffner, where the petitioner, J.A.L., a juvenile, was accused of first-degree intentional homicide under sec. 940.01, Stats., for the death of his mother, K.L. Prior to trial, the state filed a petition under sec. 48.18 for the juvenile court to waive its jurisdiction in favor of the criminal court. The juvenile court granted the petition, and J.A.L. appealed. The court of appeals stayed criminal court proceedings and permitted the parties to submit briefs on the merits of the waiver. In an unpublished decision, the court of appeals affirmed the juvenile court, thus upholding the waiver determination. We affirm the court of appeals.
