In re Miguel L.
Appellant Miguel L., a minor, appeals from an order of the juvenile court in which he was found to be a ward of the court as described in Welfare and Institutions Code section 602. He was charged with a violation of Penal Code section 245, subdivision (a)(1), assault with a deadly weapon, and section 594, subdivision (a), vandalism with over $400 in damage. At the adjudication hearing, the juvenile court found the allegations of the petition to be true.
Appellant was ordered into a Camp Community Placement Program for a period of six months. On appeal, appellant contends that the juvenile court misapplied the law concerning his self-defense claim, there was insufficient evidence to support the true finding of felony vandalism, the juvenile court failed to declare explicitly whether the vandalism offense was a felony or a misdemeanor, and a probation condition was unconstitutional. Court agree that there was insufficient evidence to support the vandalism offense as a felony and the probation condition was vague. In all other respects, Court find no grounds for reversal and affirm the order.
