§ 321.2. Admissions to part of a petition; admissions concerning other petitions.
1. A respondent may as a matter of right enter an admission to those allegations in the petition which are determinable at the fact-finding hearing.
2. Where the petition charges but one crime, a respondent may, with the consent of the court and the appropriate presentment agency, enter an admission of a lesser included crime as defined in section 1.20 of the criminal procedure law.
3. Where the petition charges more than one crime in separate counts a respondent may, with the consent of the court and the appropriate presentment agency, enter an admission to part of the petition or a lesser included crime upon the condition that such admission constitutes a complete disposition of these allegations in the petition which are determinable at the fact-finding hearing.
The respondent may admit determinable allegations as of right; with court + agency consent may admit a lesser included crime or part of a multi-count petition as a complete disposition.
