19-14-15. (Rule 609(d)) Juvenile adjudications inadmissible--Exception in criminal cases. Evidence of juvenile adjudications is generally not admissible under § 19-14-12. The court may, however, in a criminal case allow evidence of a juvenile adjudication of a witness other than the accused if conviction of the offense would be admissible to attack the credibility of an adult and the court is satisfied that admission in evidence is necessary for a fair determination of the issue of guilt or innocence.
