Description
There was no merit in a contention that G. L. c. 119, § 60, did not preclude use of a delinquency record of a juvenile in a criminal proceeding where he was only a witness, not a party. [183-186] In a murder case, a defendant who, in accord with G. L. c. 119, § 60, was denied use of a juvenile delinquency record of the only eyewitness to the crime was thereby denied his right of confrontation under the Sixth Amendment to the Federal Constitution where the defendant would have unqualifiedly had the right to use the record, had it been that of an adult, to show bias on the part of the witness.
