SevenYearOld Boy Convicted In Formal Shoplifting Trial
In Winona Minnesota a 7 year old boy was convicted after a formal juvenile court trial for shoplifting a 29 cent plastic squirt gun. Judge S A Sawyer noted a social history would guide disposition and home situation to determine needed guidance. County officials spent up to 12 hours and an estimated 300 to 500 dollars on the proceedings. State law frames juvenile cases as not crimes but aims to aid rehabilitation. County Attorney Julius Gernes supported the trial to gain jurisdiction for help, while Sawyer said such cases have precedent.
