SHIRLEY S. ABRAHAMSON, J.
(concurring). I agree with the majority that in certain contested cases the state may establish prosecutive merit under sec. 48.18(4), Stats., on the basis of reliable information provided in the delinquency and waiver petitions alone. In my concurring opinion in In the Interest of J.G., 119 Wis. 2d 748, 350 N.W.2d 668 (1984), also decided today, I note that prosecutive merit may be used in different senses in sec. 48.18(4) and 48.18(5) and that different types of proof may be necessary under each section.
