Description

DECISION AND JUDGMENT ENTRY James Spradlin appeals the decisions by the Highland County Common Pleas Court, Juvenile Division, adjudicating him a delinquent child. Spradlin argues that the trial court should have appointed him a guardian ad litem because his and his legal guardian's interests conflicted. We agree because a trial court must appoint a guardian ad litem when the child's and the legal guardian's interests could conflict. Spradlin also argues that his waiver of counsel was not properly made, that the trial court violated his right against self- incrimination, and that the trial court did not engage in a meaningful dialogue prior to accepting his admissions. We do not reach the merits of these arguments because we find them moot. Accordingly, we reverse the judgment of the trial court and remand this case for further proceedings.
