The memo cannot be longer than 4 pages, double spaced, in Times New Roman size 12 font. Sarah Caruso and Luisa Colon are neighbors. They attended the same high school and were friends until Sarah accused Luisa of stealing her boyfriend, Alex Russo. According to Luisa, Sarah brutally attacked her with a softball bat and has made her life a “living hell.” Luisa has lingering injuries and she and her father want Sarah punished for what she did. Sarah was charged via a delinquency complaint in the Middlesex County Division of the Juvenile Court, alleging that she committed an assault and battery with a dangerous weapon upon Luisa Colon pursuant to G. L. c. 265, § 15A. The complaint alleges that seventeen-year-old Sarah waited in an alley between two buildings for Luisa to walk by on her way home from school. Sarah then allegedly pulled Luisa into the alley and began striking her repeatedly with a softball bat. Police officers arrived on the scene and arrested Sarah, whom they were familiar with from prior encounters. Sarah has been involved with the Juvenile Court since she was fifteen years old. She was charged with assault and battery following a street brawl that she allegedly initiated. Sarah completed a diversion program following that charge. However, while the current delinquency case was pending, Sarah returned to court when her mother filed a Child Requiring Assistance petition when she began running away from home and not obeying home rules. Sarah’s mother reports being afraid of her because Sarah has a terrible temper and has nearly struck her several times. Having been found to be a Child Requiring Assistance, a Juvenile Court judge ordered Sarah to attend therapeutic counseling and an anger management program for teens. Sarah just started attending these programs after being on a waiting list. Although Sarah initially chose to proceed with a jury trial on the assault and battery with a dangerous weapon charge, she changed her mind after three continuances were allowed in her case. One continuance was a result of the court’s scheduling, one was requested by the Commonwealth, and the third continuance was requested by Sarah’s defense counsel. In consultation with her attorney, Sarah opted for a bench trial, so that she could be tried in advance of her eighteenth birthday. Judge Moore has asked you to write a memorandum for her in preparation of trial. The bench trial is scheduled for six weeks prior to Sarah’s eighteenth birthday. Judge Moore anticipates that if she finds Sarah to be a delinquent child, the Commonwealth will request the sentencing hearing be continued until after Sarah’s eighteenth birthday, and that the defense will oppose, asking for immediate sentencing. What must the judge consider when deciding such a request? Closing Date/Time: 2024-08-15

The memo cannot be longer than 4 pages, double spaced, in Times New Roman size 12 font. Sarah Caruso and Luisa Colon are neighbors. They attended the same high school and were friends until Sarah accused Luisa of stealing her boyfriend, Alex Russo. According to Luisa, Sarah brutally attacked her with a softball bat and has made her life a “living hell.” Luisa has lingering injuries and she and her father want Sarah punished for what she did. Sarah was charged via a delinquency complaint in the Middlesex County Division of the Juvenile Court, alleging that she committed an assault and battery with a dangerous weapon upon Luisa Colon pursuant to G. L. c. 265, § 15A. The complaint alleges that seventeen-year-old Sarah waited in an alley between two buildings for Luisa to walk by on her way home from school. Sarah then allegedly pulled Luisa into the alley and began striking her repeatedly with a softball bat. Police officers arrived on the scene and arrested Sarah, whom they were familiar with from prior encounters. Sarah has been involved with the Juvenile Court since she was fifteen years old. She was charged with assault and battery following a street brawl that she allegedly initiated. Sarah completed a diversion program following that charge. However, while the current delinquency case was pending, Sarah returned to court when her mother filed a Child Requiring Assistance petition when she began running away from home and not obeying home rules. Sarah’s mother reports being afraid of her because Sarah has a terrible temper and has nearly struck her several times. Having been found to be a Child Requiring Assistance, a Juvenile Court judge ordered Sarah to attend therapeutic counseling and an anger management program for teens. Sarah just started attending these programs after being on a waiting list. Although Sarah initially chose to proceed with a jury trial on the assault and battery with a dangerous weapon charge, she changed her mind after three continuances were allowed in her case. One continuance was a result of the court’s scheduling, one was requested by the Commonwealth, and the third continuance was requested by Sarah’s defense counsel. In consultation with her attorney, Sarah opted for a bench trial, so that she could be tried in advance of her eighteenth birthday. Judge Moore has asked you to write a memorandum for her in preparation of trial. The bench trial is scheduled for six weeks prior to Sarah’s eighteenth birthday. Judge Moore anticipates that if she finds Sarah to be a delinquent child, the Commonwealth will request the sentencing hearing be continued until after Sarah’s eighteenth birthday, and that the defense will oppose, asking for immediate sentencing. What must the judge consider when deciding such a request? Closing Date/Time: 2024-08-15
