It's up to the Judge. Could be probation or 6 months.

It depends on where you live and how draconian the judge and prosecutor are. In Salt Lake County, he might do some confinement time, but if he's not a gangbanger committing robberies and drug deals, it won't be much detention in a facility because of overcrowding. Other counties in Utah, he will spend some time in a detention facility.

You should ask this question under the criminal section, not personal injury.

There is no way to say. He could get probation and not have to go to juvi. If the court does sentence him to juvi, it is an indeterminate sentence, and juvi decides when he is released. Juvi does have guidelines for how long they keep individuals for various offenses. You could call the SC Department of Juvenile Justice and ask them.

Entirely up to judge and probably based on the attitude of the kid.
