In re Steven P.
Steven P. appeals from a judgment after the juvenile court declared him a ward of the court pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 602, and found true the petition’s allegations of second degree robbery (Pen. Code, § 211), and receiving stolen property (Pen. Code, § 496, subd. (a)). Steven contends the juvenile court erred by excluding his post-detention statements to police that were consistent with his alibi defense—an argument we reject. Steven also contends the juvenile court erred by sustaining the petition on the receiving stolen property count because he could not be convicted of both robbery and receiving stolen property. The Attorney General concedes the latter point, and we agree. Accordingly, we reverse the finding on the receiving stolen property count and affirm the judgment as modified.
