    Can juvenile records be used in court as an adult?
    My daughter received a dui charge for under the influence of marijuana. The judge brought up her juvenile record,( minor in consumption). I was told it is admissible in court. Is this true?

    Can Juvenile records be used against an adult in a minor misdemeanor case? More specifically, if an adult has not had a citation in nearly 3 years, can the prosecuting entity use his/her juvenile records as basis for sentencing or plea recommendation, or could this be considered prejudicial?
