parties generally; demand for and conduct of jury trial.

     (a) A child alleged to be delinquent may remain silent and
need not be a witness against or otherwise incriminate himself,
whether before the court voluntarily, by subpoena or otherwise.

      (b)   A party to any proceeding under this act is entitled
to:

            (i)    A copy of all charges made against him;

            (ii)    Confront and cross-examine adverse witnesses;

          (iii) Introduce evidence, present witnesses and
otherwise be heard in his own behalf; and

          (iv) Issue of process by the court to compel the
appearance of witnesses or the production of evidence.

     (c) A party against whom a petition has been filed or the
district attorney may demand a trial by jury at an adjudicatory
hearing. The jury shall be composed of jurors selected,
qualified and compensated as provided by law for the trial of
civil matters in the district court. The jury may also be
selected from the prospective jurors on the base jury list
residing within five (5) miles of the city or town where the
trial is to be held, whichever the court directs. Demand for a
jury trial must be made to the court not later than ten (10)
days after the party making the demand is advised of his right
to a jury trial. No deposit for jury fees is required. Failure
of a party to demand a jury is a waiver of this right.
