Rights of parties generally; demand for and conduct of jury trial.
Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 14-3-423
in effect(a) A party to any proceeding under this act is entitled to:
(i) A copy of all charges made against him;
(ii) Confront and cross-examine adverse witnesses;
(iii) Introduce evidence, present witnesses and otherwise be heard in his own behalf; and
(iv) Issue of process by the court to compel the appearance of witnesses or the production of evidence.
(b) A party against whom a petition has been filed or the district attorney may demand a trial by jury at an adjudicatory hearing. The jury shall be composed of jurors selected, qualified and compensated as provided by law for the trial of civil matters in the district court. The jury may also be selected from the prospective jurors on the base jury list residing within five (5) miles of the city or town where the trial is to be held if the court directs. Demand for a jury trial must be made to the court not later than ten (10) days after the party making the demand is advised of his right to a jury trial at the initial hearing. No deposit for jury fees is required. Failure of a party to demand a jury is a waiver of this right.
