Rule 23A. Hearing on factors of Utah Code section 80-6-503; bind over to district court.
(a) If the court finds probable cause in accordance with Rule 22 on a criminal information filed under Utah Code section 80-6-503, or if a minor is indicted pursuant to Utah Code section 80-6-504(11), the court will hear evidence and make findings as set forth in Utah Code section 80-6-504.
(b) If the juvenile court finds that the State has met its burden of proof, the juvenile court will bind the minor over to the district court to be held for trial and enter interim orders regarding bail and continued detention status. The juvenile court clerk will transmit the filings and record of the preliminary hearing to the district court clerk.
(c) If the court finds probable cause to believe that a felony has been committed and that the minor committed it but finds that the State has not met its burden of proof for binding the minor over to the district court, the juvenile court will retain jurisdiction over the minor’s case and arraign the minor on the allegations as if it were a petition. The court may order the minor held in a detention center or released in accordance with Rule 9.
