would be admissible in a separate adjudicatory hearing for the other;
2) offenses alleged in separate petitions if
the offenses alleged are based on the same act or transaction;
3) juveniles alleged in separate petitions if
they are alleged to have participated in the same act or transaction or in the
same series of acts or transactions.
B. Procedure.
1) Oral or written notice that offenses or
juveniles alleged in separate petitions will be heard together shall be given
to the juvenile's attorney or the juvenile, if unrepresented, prior to the
