Cook v. Commonwealth

UPHELD status graphic: Cook v. Commonwealth. 031830 Cook v. Commonwealth 06/10/2004 Under Code § 16.1-271, the juvenile and domestic relations district court lacks jurisdiction over a juvenile who has previously been certified to the circuit court and indicted by a grand jury as an adult on charges that were later nolle prosequied. The circuit court's refusal to dismiss subsequent charges against the present defendant was correct. The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
