In re W.J. CA3
W.J. (the minor), then 13, intentionally damaged a mannequin while fleeing a Kohl’s store where he had been performing backflips on display beds and engaging in other acts of mischief with his companions. He appeals from the juvenile court’s finding he was aware of the wrongfulness of his actions (Pen. Code, § 26) and adjudicating him to be a ward of the court (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 602) after sustaining the allegation he committed felony vandalism (§ 594, subd. (b)(1)) that the court deemed a misdemeanor (§ 17, subd. (b)(3)). The minor was granted probation and ordered to pay $648 in restitution to Kohl’s.
