In re Rene L.
Rene L. challenges a juvenile court order sustaining a Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 petition alleging he committed a lewd act upon a child under the age of 14 years. On appeal and in his petition, supplemental petition and second supplemental petition for writ of habeas corpus, Rene contends his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance by, among other things, failing to call an eyewitness identification expert, failing to effectively cross-examine the victim and present argument to the juvenile court on the issue of the victims identification of Rene as the perpetrator of the charged offenses, and failing to bring a motion to exclude evidence concerning the victims identification of Rene in a friends yearbook. Court affirm the order and deny the petitions.
