More details to this question:
My boyfriend got a DUI while on probation. He just went to court on Fri. Feb 22. They sentenced him to 10 months house arrest and 5 years I.P. for his first DUI. The D.A. said he was getting that because he had an underage delivery and DUI. Is that legal to bring up his underage?
1 ANSWER
By underage delivery do you mean that he sold controlled substances while a juvenile? If so, then they answer is yes with conditions: under 204 Pa.Code 303.6(a)(1) if the juvenile incident occurred after his 14th birthday and he was under the age of 28 pertaining to the current charge then they prior juvenile adjudication can be used against him. Please call me if I can help. Remember he only has 10 days to file for a reconsideration of sentence.
