458 S.E.2d 847 | Ga. | 1995
A complaint against B. W. S. was filed in juvenile court, alleging that B. W. S. committed the offenses of murder, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime and possession of a firearm by an underage person. The juvenile court ordered the case transferred to superior court. B. W. S. contends the juvenile court lacked jurisdiction to transfer the case because the original hearing on the delinquency petition was set several days before the filing of the petition. We affirm because the juvenile court obtained jurisdiction with the filing of the complaint.
1. On December 10, 1993 a complaint was filed against B. W. S. in juvenile court alleging he committed murder.
In In the Interest of C. R.,
2. We find no merit in B. W. S.’s remaining enumerations.
Judgment affirmed.
The crime occurred on December 6, 1993. The juvenile court ordered the case transferred to superior court on January 14, 1994 and the order was filed on February 4, 1994. B. W. S. filed his notice of appeal to the Court of Appeals on March 3, 1994. The case was docketed in the Court of Appeals on May 26, 1994 and transferred to this Court on January 9, 1995. This Court heard oral argument on April 11, 1995.
See J. T. G. v. State of Ga., 141 Ga. App. 184 (233 SE2d 40) (1977).
263 Ga. 155, 156 (430 SE2d 3) (1993).
B. W. S. contends the juvenile court should have suppressed his statement because he did not give it voluntarily; that the juvenile court erred in failing to grant an additional continuance on January 10, 1994; and that the transfer hearing lacked due process.
