Case 7-2
Barney was sentenced to a term of life in prison after he was found guilty of an armed home invasion robbery. There are many issues that occurred during his trial that he wants to appeal. First, he was a juvenile when arrested and charged for the home invasion robbery. The juvenile judge dismissed the charges against Barney because the victim stated that Barney was not the offender. The prosecutors decided to file Barney's case in the adult criminal court system. This clearly is a violation of the protection against double jeopardy. Also, Barney was not given an attorney until he was charged as an adult.

A) drug court
B) municipal court
