In re Robert S.
Following a contested jurisdictional hearing, the juvenile court sustained a charge of lewd and lascivious conduct with a child under 14 years of age against Robert S., a minor. He was declared a ward of the court and ordered into suitable placement.
On appeal, the minor contends: (1) the evidence is insufficient to sustain the juvenile courts finding the minor knew the wrongfulness of his act; (2) the court abused its discretion when it found the victim competent to testify; (3) he was denied his right to confront the witnesses against him when the court, over his objection, admitted a multi-disciplinary interview center (MDIC) interview videotape and transcript of the interview; (4) imposition of an unlimited search and seizure condition was unconstitutional; and (5) if contention No. 4 is forfeited by counsels failure to object to the search and seizure condition, he received ineffective assistance of counsel.
