In re Beatriz C. CA4/1
A petition under Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 was filed in juvenile court alleging Beatriz C. (the Minor) committed murder (Pen. Code, § 187, subd. (a)). A request to find the Minor unfit for juvenile treatment under section 707 was also filed. The Minor admitted the allegations in the petition and the court denied the motion to transfer the case to adult court.
At a disposition hearing, the court heard evidence and argument. At the conclusion of the hearing, the court committed the Minor to the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) for a maximum period of 15 years to life.
The Minor filed a timely notice of appeal.
Appellate counsel has filed a brief pursuant to People v. Wende (1979) 25 Cal.3d 436 (Wende), indicating counsel has not been able to identify any arguable issues for reversal on appeal. Counsel asks the court to review the record for error as mandated by Wende.
