Juvenile case stay of adjudication 082923

            Juvenile Delinquency Defense Attorney Lynne Torgerson obtained a stay of adjudication in a juvenile threats of violence case out of Isanti County, State of Minnesota.  A stay of adjudication means that the charge does not go on the juvenile’s record.  This helps protect his future, his future employment opportunities, and his gun rights, because threats of violence is a felony crime of violence, and if convicted, then a person loses their gun rights for life.  The juvenile defendant was a 15 year old, and had made gestures and comments at school that were construed to be threats.  Notwithstanding, Ms. Torgerson worked out a plea negotiation with the Isanti County Attorney’s Office for a stay of adjudication, whereby this charge, threats of violence, will stay off her client’s record.  Well done Ms. Torgerson.
