In re Eduardo B. CA4/1
The San Diego District Attorney’s Office filed a juvenile petition under Welfare and Institutions Code sections 602 and 707 alleging Eduardo B. committed torture (Pen. Code, § 206; count 1); attempted premeditated murder (Pen. Code, §§ 664, 187, subd. (a), 189; count 2); corporal injury on a domestic partner (Pen. Code, § 273.5, subd. (a); count 3); and assault with a deadly weapon by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (a)(1); count 4). Eduardo admitted count 2, and the remaining counts were dismissed. After a contested dispositional hearing, the juvenile court committed Eduardo to the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) for nine years or nine years to life.
Eduardo appeals, claiming the confinement term was unauthorized and the court erred in committing Eduardo to DJJ.
