STATE OF LOUISIANA IN THE INTEREST OF C.M. * NO. 2005-CA-0435 * COURT OF APPEAL * FOURTH CIRCUIT * STATE OF LOUISIANA * * ******* BELSOME, J., CONCURS WITH REASONS Given the exclusion in the Children’s Code regarding a time limitation for the filing of a delinquency petition when a child is not continued in custody, I concur with the majority. However, permitting such a delay in cases where a child is not continued in custody could on occasion subject a juvenile offender to be tried at the age of majority creating an inequality of the timeliness of prosecutions between a child not continued in custody and a child continued in custody. That circumstance has not arisen in this instant case; therefore, I concur.
