C.D., a Minor v. State of Alaska

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court vacated the superior court’s waiver order and remanded for further proceedings, holding that an exclusionary rule is required when a minor bears the burden of rebutting a statutory presumption of unamenability to treatment. The Court also rejected the appellant’s claim that a different judge must handle the remand. It declined to decide the statute’s constitutionality, focusing instead on the need to protect the minor’s privilege against self‑incrimination.
