Question Presented (from Petition)

A split exists among state courts of last resort on whether the Sixth Amendment right to confrontation extends to a hearing on whether to certify a child as an adult. This Court deems such a hearing critically important. Does Kent v. United States, 383 U.S. 541, 562, 86 S.Ct. 1045, 16 L.Ed.2d 84 (1966), particularly in light of Chambers v. grant a child this right?
