In re Adonis H.
By petition, Adonis H. (now age 19) was charged with one count each of possession of a firearm by a minor, possession of live ammunition by a minor, and possession of marijuana. The petition gave notice that Adonis was facing confinement on all sustained counts and on “all previously sustained petitions with detention time remaining.” Minor had prior sustained petitions for possession of a firearm in a school zone, resisting arrest, and battery. The juvenile court sustained the firearm and ammunition counts, dismissed the remaining count, and ordered minor committed to the California Youth Authority for a maximum period not to exceed six years, eight months. Minor appeals, contending the juvenile court abused its discretion with regard to his placement and his maximum term of confinement, and that his term for possession of ammunition is prohibited by Penal Code section 654. Court provisionally reversed for reconsideration of minor’s maximum term of confinement, and otherwise affirmed.
