In re Jesus S. CA4/1
The juvenile court found true allegations that Jesus S. assaulted Sean L. with a deadly weapon (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (a)(1)), with enhancements that he caused great bodily injury and the crime was a serious felony (Pen. Code, §§ 12022.7, subd. (a), 1192.7, subd. (c)(8) & (c)(23)). The court declared Jesus to be a ward of the court under Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 and committed him to the Youthful Offender Unit (YOU) program for 480 days.
Jesus argues that the juvenile court erred by denying his motion to exclude evidence of his statements to police during a custodial interrogation because he did not knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily waive his right to remain silent as required under Miranda v. Arizona (1966) 384 U.S. 436 (Miranda). He next asserts that the court abused its discretion by committing him to the YOU program rather than releasing him to his mother.
