Description
Writ of actual innocence for juveniles adjudicated delinquent. Provides that a juvenile adjudicated delinquent of an offense that would be a felony if committed by an adult may petition the Supreme Court to issue a writ of actual innocence on the basis of biological or non-biological evidence regardless of his plea or the classification of the felony for which he was adjudicated delinquent. Currently such petitions are limited to those convicted, (i) in the case of biological evidence, of a Class 1 or Class 2 felony or equivalent felony upon any plea or of any other felony upon a plea of not guilty, or (ii) in the case of non-biological evidence, of any felony upon a plea of not guilty.
