Commonwealth v. Quahir Q., a Juvenile

Summary

The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court held that a Juvenile Court judge may lawfully impose a continuance without a finding (CWOF) for a juvenile charged under G.L. c. 269, §10(a), and that neither G.L. c. 269, §10(a)(6) nor G.L. c. 119, §58 prohibit such a disposition. The court affirmed the lower court's denial of the Commonwealth's motion to revise the sentence.
