In re A.R.
Minor A.R. admitted that he came within the provisions of Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 in that he committed voluntary manslaughter.[1] (Pen. Code, 192, subd. (a).) In exchange, an allegation of second degree murder was dismissed. (Pen. Code, 187, subd. (a), 190, subd. (a).) The Colusa County Juvenile Court determined that the minor resided in Sutter County and transferred the case there for disposition. The Sutter County court adjudged the minor its ward and committed him to the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Division of Juvenile Facilities (DJF), for a maximum confinement time of 11 years less credit for time served.[2] The court found that the offense was gang related. On appeal, the minor contends there was insufficient evidence that (1) his welfare required that he be removed from his parents, and (2) the offense was gang related. Court modify the judgment by striking the finding the offense was gang related and otherwise affirm the judgment.
