Description
A Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 petition alleged that "on or about and between August 23, 2005 and August 24, 2005, "T.P. (the minor) committed four acts of felony vandalism by placing graffiti on three retaining walls and the Capitola train trestle. (Pen. Code, S 594, subd. (a).) The juvenile court sustained the petition finding all four vandalism allegations to be true. The minor argues on appeal that his statement to a Capitola police detective that his arrest would not necessarily stop the vandalism was obtained in violation of Miranda v. Arizona (1966) 384 U.S. 436 and should have been excluded. Appellant also argues that the evidence is insufficient to support his conviction for vandalizing the trestle.
Court conclude that the trial court did not err in admitting the challenged statement and that there is sufficient evidence to support the court's true finding relating to the trestle vandalism. Accordingly, court affirm.
