It is difficult to know what happened in particular case, especially not being an attorney repsenting someone in the case. I am not sure what the minimum age for a juvenile delinquency petition in Minnesota is, but I have not yet seen a case against a 10-year-old. I believe Wisconsin can go after 10-year-olds now. The best thing to do would be to get a good criminal-juvenile defense lawyer, like me, involved to help. Avoid letting him speak to police without legal counsel.
