Held:
No Error
Vacated and Remanded in Part
The court’s failure to make written findings to support its oral denial of the juvenile’s release pending appeal required remand. Although the issue may have become moot due to the passage of time, the court noted that it must vacate the order and remand for the trial court state its compelling reasons for denying release. Also, the court stated that “this error by the trial court has no effect on the juvenile’s adjudication or disposition.”
