I was supposedly caught by a stationary laser going 78 in a 55 mph zone by a county officer in clermont county, ohio. My question is one, as a juvenile am i allowed to defend myself? i take post secondary in law and even if i lose it would be good practice. Secondly what will most likely be the sentance if found guilty? Ive heard that first offence no matter how fast your going is 30 days and classes but then i heard if your going so much over the suspension is longer. Any comments is greatly appreciated. i was stopped once before at 64 in a 55 and i was so i plead guilty but it was dismissed... should i bring this up in court or when asked if its my first offence should i mention it? Thanks!

As a juvenile you need to appear in court with a parent or guardian. Your guardian can choose to appear without an attorney, and allow you to speak. As a juvenile it is their decision though, not yours.
In most Juvenile Courts in Ohio that offense will cost you your license for 30 days.

Minority and admission of the offense constitute as mitigating circumstances and will lessen the penalty. However, you should present a credible narration of facts.
