Summary
Under the juvenile determinate sentencing statute, a juvenile court may send a juvenile to the Department of Correction for a fixed term of two years provided, among other things, the juvenile has accumulated “two (2) unrelated prior adjudications of delinquency.” We hold today that despite similar wording in the adult habitual offender statute, the meaning of the phrase in the juvenile context is that the earlier adjudications of delinquency are independent of the offense that is currently charged.
