In re Jullien O.
Based upon a search of minor Jullien O.s residence and garage, he was charged with possession of four illegal weapons--a short-barreled shotgun (count I), a short-barreled rifle (count II) and two assault rifles (counts III and IV). During a contested jurisdictional hearing, the juvenile court dismissed counts II, III, and IV, but sustained count I, the possession of the short barreled shotgun. The court continued the minor as a ward of the court and committed him to the Sacramento County Boys Ranch.
The minor appeals, contending that (1) the evidence is insufficient to prove he had actual knowledge that the short barreled shotgun was unusually short, (2) a new dispositional hearing is required because the court failed to obtain a current probation officers report, and (3) the court improperly ordered him to pay the cost of drug testing as a condition of probation.
Court reject the minors first contention, but, like the People, Court agree with his second claim. Therefore, Court vacate the dispositional orders and remand for a new dispositional hearing.
