Appellate Court of Illinois

Dismissal of a petition for wardship brought against defendant-Gilberto G. and denying his motion to dismiss a bill of indictment is affirmed where: 1) in light of the statutory exclusion of jurisdiction, it is clear that the juvenile court did not have jurisdiction over defendant on the wardship petition; and 2) as the actions of the court and the parties in the juvenile proceedings prior to the dismissal of the petition amounted to a nullity, there was no prior jeopardy.
