In re Darren W.
After entering a negotiated plea of no contest to one count of child molesting (Pen. Code, 647.6, subd. (a)), the minor was continued a ward of the juvenile court and placed on probation for a maximum period of one year. He was ordered to pay a restitution fine of $25, a fine of $25 to the county general fund, and a penalty of $49.38. The court also directed that fines and penalties imposed in an earlier disposition remain in effect. The minor was given 45 days of custody credits. The minor appeals contending: (1) the juvenile court erred in imposing restitution fines and penalties without first determining his ability to pay the fines or considering its discretion to waive the penalties; and (2) he is entitled to eight additional days of custody credit for time served in connection with an earlier disposition. The People concede the latter point. Court conclude the Peoples concession is unwarranted and affirm the disposition order.
