Nebraska Supreme Court

In re Interest of Aaden S.

February 6, 2026329 Neb. 785

Summary

The court held that Aaden received due process at the juvenile transfer hearing because he had access to the State’s evidence, an opportunity to object and present arguments, and the evidence had sufficient indicia of reliability despite the absence of sponsoring witnesses. It also held that the juvenile court did not abuse its discretion in transferring the case to adult court after balancing the statutory factors and determining that the State proved transfer was warranted by a preponderance of the evidence.
