In re Shannon W.
Following a contested jurisdiction hearing on an amended subsequent petition, the Sacramento County Juvenile Court found that minor Shannon W. came within the provisions of Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 in that he committed forcible lewd acts against a girl under age 14 (Pen. Code, 288, subd. (b)(1 count one), assault with intent to rape (Pen. Code, 22 count two), attempted rape (Pen. Code, 261, subd. (a)(2), 664--count four), false imprisonment (Pen. Code, 236 count five), and forcible rape in concert (Pen. Code, 264.1 count seven). The minor was committed to the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Division of Juvenile Facilities (hereafter DJF), for up to nine years but not to exceed age 25.
On appeal, the minor contends (1) there was no substantial evidence that he would benefit from a DJF commitment, and (2) his federal constitutional rights were violated when the juvenile court committed him to DJF without substantial evidence of probable benefit. Court affirm the judgment.
