Superior Court - COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA v. C.L., A MINOR

COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA v. C.L., A MINOR
No. 1693 MDA 2007 2008 PA Super 286 Atlantic: 963 A.2d 489 Filed: 12/17/2008

Appeal from the Order entered September 17, 2007
In the Court of Common Pleas of Bradford County
Civil No. 07IR000474
Before: GANTMAN, SHOGAN and KELLY, JJ.
Opinion by: KELLY, J.
Appellant, C.L., a minor, appeals from the order entered in the Court of Common Pleas of Bradford County denying his petition for waiver of Victims of Juvenile Offenders (VOJO) fee. We vacate the order, finding that the trial court does not have statutory authority to impose fees on juveniles who are accused of delinquency, maintain their innocence, reject informal resolution, and are ultimately not adjudicated delinquent.
