Wilson v. Commonwealth
Court of Appeals of Virginia
1Opinion of the Court
ELDER, Judge.
Krystal Ashley Wilson (appellant), a juvenile, appeals the circuit court’s order finding her guilty of criminal contempt for failure to honor a subpoena. Appellant contends that (1) the circuit court lacked jurisdiction to convict her, a juvenile, of criminal contempt; (2) the circuit court erred in failing to appoint a guardian ad litem before issuing the subpoena and holding the show causé hearing; and (3) the circuit court erred in sentencing her to jail for criminal contempt. For the following reasons, we affirm the circuit court’s order.
