I'm sure someone else has commented on this. But here's my 2 cents. A witness who is a responsible adult who, for example as a juvenile stole some alcohol from a convenience store, in my opinion has not smeared their reputation, ESPECIALLY as compared to a family who has continually thumbed their noses at the law, repeatedly used intimidation tactics to try to get their way, dress however they feel like in court before getting street clothes approved by the judge, and on and on.
You're the first. That's not exactly where I was going. I should have been more clear. If the juvenile has an extensive juvenile record, say by 15-17, (and, as I stated, possibly even adult charges and jail time), then there could be problems with their testimony. A bottle of liquor? No. They probably wouldn't even do any time.
