In re Manuel C.
Following a contested urisdictional/dispositional hearing, appellant Manuel C. was found to have violated his probation and was ordered to spend 80 hours in the juvenile court work program. Manuel argues that this finding must be reversed because the juvenile court failed to advise him of his constitutional rights before accepting his slow plea. Court reject this argument because Manuel did not enter a slow plea. Although defense counsel stipulated to certain facts, she aggressively argued against a true finding on the probation violation allegation. The factual stipulation was part of the defense strategy and was not tantamount to pleading guilty. Accordingly, Court affirm.
