In re Christopher C.
Following a contested jurisdictional hearing, the juvenile court sustained an allegation against appellant that he committed assault with a deadly weapon, inflicting great bodily injury. The court adjudged appellant a ward of the court, determined the maximum term of confinement to be seven years, and committed appellant to the county boot camp for a minimum of 90 days. Appellant’s placement later was modified when he developed a medical condition, and he was ordered to spend 45 days in the juvenile center.
Appellant contends that his constitutional rights were violated when certain hearsay statements were admitted; that the juvenile court erred when it failed to make a finding pursuant to Penal Code section 26; and that the juvenile court erred when it failed to exercise its discretion in setting a maximum term of confinement under Welfare and Institutions Code section 731. As to each argument, appellant also contends he received ineffective assistance of counsel. Court found no merit to appellant’s claims. Judgment affirmed.
