Syllabus

The trial court erred in finding appellant to be a delinquent minor for committing the offense of voluntary manslaughter based on his admission to the offense. Appellant's admission was invalid because the trial court did not inform him of his right to have the prosecution prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt and because the trial court did not explain to him the minimum or maximum terms of commitment that may result from the acceptance of an admission. Judgment reversed; cause remanded.
