01-1407 In the Interest of Heather M.M.: State v. Heather M.M.

By: dmc-admin//October 8, 2001//

Listen to this article

Heather M. appeals from an order adjudicating her delinquent. She claims that the trial court erred in concluding that it lacked the power to enter a consent decree pursuant to Wis. Stat. sec. 938.21(7) (1999-2000). We conclude that this statute permits a trial court to enter a consent decree, as defined in Wis. Stat. sec. 938.32(1).

We therefore reverse and remand to permit the trial court to exercise its discretion as to whether to enter a sec. 938.21 consent decree.

Dist IV, Dodge County, Klossner, J., Dykman, J.

Attorneys:

For Appellant: Michael Yovovich, Madison

For Respondent: Tris M. Baker, Jefferson; David J. Wambach, Jefferson
