In re J.I.
On November 23, 2010, the District Attorney of Los Angeles County filed a petition pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 (section 602) in case number TJ19105 that alleged that defendant and appellant J.I. committed the felony offense of possession of a deadly weapon, brass knuckles. (Pen. Code, § 12020, subd. (a)(1).) On January 18, 2011, the District Attorney filed a petition pursuant to section 602 in case number TJ19139 that alleged that J.I. committed the felony offenses of unlawful driving or taking of a vehicle (Veh. Code, § 10851, subd. (a)) and receiving stolen property, a motor vehicle (Pen. Code, § 496d, subd. (a)). The juvenile court consolidated the petitions under case number TJ19105. The juvenile court found the allegations true, found the possession of a deadly weapon offense to be a misdemeanor, and placed J.I. home on probation in his mother's home.
On appeal, J.I. contends that the juvenile court erred in finding true the allegation that he received stolen property because, under the facts of this case, he could not be found to have both unlawfully driven or taken a vehicle and to have received the same vehicle as stolen property. We affirm.
