In re Vincent C.
A juvenile court found true the allegation that Vincent C. (Vincent) committed the offense of being a minor in possession of a concealable firearm. (Pen. Code, 12101, subd. (a)(1).) On appeal, Vincent contends: (1) the true finding must be reversed because the firearm was discovered pursuant to an unlawful search in violation of the Fourth Amendment; (2) his statements to the police were obtained in violation of Miranda v. Arizona (1966) 384 U.S. 436 (Miranda) and should have been suppressed; and (3) even if the true finding is confirmed, the case must be remanded to the juvenile court to exercise its discretion and declare whether the offense is a misdemeanor or felony. Court remand to the juvenile court to declare whether the offense is a misdemeanor or felony and, if necessary, recalculate the period of confinement. In all other respects, Court affirm.
