In In re Mitchell P. (1978) 22 Cal.3d 946, the court reaffirmed the rule that disparate treatment may be accorded to persons charged with crimes and persons charged with juvenile misconduct . The court rejected an argument that a minor in a juvenile court proceeding was entitled to the benefit of a statute ( 1111 of the Pen. Code) which provided that a criminal conviction could not be based solely upon the uncorroborated testimony of an accomplice. In so holding, the court quoted with approval the following language from McKeiver v. Pennsylvania (1971) 403 U.S. 528: "'If the jury trial were to be injected into the juvenile court system as a matter of right, it would bring with it into that system the traditional delay, the formality, and the clamor of the adversary system and, possibly, the public trial.'" (P. 953.)
