fyi in , it is important for fellow practitioners of the law to note what the court stated:

Bill did not ask to conditionally admit to the allegations against him,
thereby reserving appeal of any legal issues. Instead, he entered an
unconditional admission, and indicated that he understood there would be no
appeal. It is longstanding law that no defenses can be raised on appeal after
entry of a guilty plea, except that no offense has been charged. Commonwealth
v. Elza, 284 S.W.3d 118 (Ky. 2009). The effect of the guilty plea is to waive
those other defenses and any appeal that seeks to raise them. Juveniles, of
course, are not held to the same level of competency as adults, simply as a
matter of law. Nevertheless, they may waive their rights in juvenile proceedings.
See Commonwealth v. B.J., 241 S.W.3d 324, 327 (Ky. 2007) (holding that
juveniles may waive constitutional rights); Kozak v. Commonwealth, 279
S.W.3d 129, 133 (Ky. 2008) ("[A] juvenile may, by the express terms of a plea
agreement, validly waive his rights under the juvenile code ...."). Thus, a
juvenile may waive his right to an appeal.
