In re Darnell C.
Appellant appeals from the disposition of a juvenile delinquency petition (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 602) alleging that he possessed cocaine base (Health & Saf. Code, § 11350). Appellant contends there was insufficient evidence to support the juvenile court's finding that he possessed cocaine, because the drugs were discovered in a room he shared with his cousin. Therefore, appellant argues that respondent did not establish beyond a reasonable doubt that he possessed the drug, including the requirement that he knew of its presence in the room.
Additionally, appellant argues that the court erred in calculating his precommitment custody credits, granting him credit for 122 days rather than the 127 days to which he was entitled. Appellant also contends that the court failed to give him credit for time served under his previously sustained petitions, and that the case should be remanded for determination of such credits. Respondent concedes both points relating to the determination of custody credits.
Court affirm the court's finding but remand with instructions to increase appellant's precommitment custody credits to 127 days, and to calculate the appropriate credits to be awarded for time served under previous petitions.
