Brother got taken away to juvvie tonight.

Things are such a blur and I feel sick. I feel awful. Noone seems to give a goddamn and I don't know what to do. I need to lie in front of a judge in the morning so he can get out.

Don't lie, first of all if you lie you can go to jail. Second of all you shouldn't lie because he needs this. Because if he keeps getting away with it he'll keep doing it, and it will escalate, eventually he will do something very, very serious, and it'll be your fault, because you didn't stop him when you had the chance.

Don't lie, because he really is a problem, all your posts show this and the point is, you know it too. You might want to lie to protect him, but its still wrong, you don't really thing it's the right thing to do, do you? Will you lie again if he does it a second time? What if he does worse, Will you lie then? What if he starts beating random people, what about then? What if he seriously injures someone? What if he kills them? Will you lie then? Will you continue to let, and help him get away with things he shouldn't? Will you continue to keep the help he needs from him?

I think you know he needs help, and he isn't getting help now, he's only getting worse because he can get away with it. If he knows he can't, if he knows there are consequences to his actions, if he knows he will have to answer for what he has done. Maybe he will stop doing it? Maybe he can't help it, maybe he has an anger problem. Either of those could be true, and either of these things will become apparent if he gets help, which he will if you don't lie for him.

It might not feel nice to let him go to jail, but you don't even know if he will, it's unlikely he will get that serious of a punishment considering his age and the fact its (i'm assuming) a first offence. That said, it will make an impact on him and could very well turn him around. The shock, and the fear of the consequences he will face if he continues doing the things he does may very well have enough of an impact on him to force a change. If it does no, you know that he will not change, and that he is, in effect, unable to change himself and will have to be changed by external means, such as jail, or therapy.

Do you want to help your brother? Do you want to help -yourself-? Don't lie for him.

Absolutely. Ax is right, lying here is really the worst thing you could do. Your brother has to face up to the consequences of his actions or else things are just going to get worse - and he'll end up dragging you and your mother down with him.
