In re R.L.
The juvenile court sustained a petition filed pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 602, and found minor R.L. (defendant) committed the offense of misdemeanor battery (Pen. Code, § 242), when he threw a shoe at his mother, hitting her in the face and causing her nose to bleed. The court also found defendant committed the offense of felony dissuading a victim from reporting a crime (§ 136.1, subd. (b)(1)) when he subsequently told his mother, “If you call the cops, when I get out, I’m going to come back and stab you.†The trial court ordered a midterm camp commitment and declared a maximum term of confinement of four years six months, with credit given for 23 days. On appeal, defendant contends insufficient evidence supports the dissuading a victim count and that he is entitled to additional custody credits. We disagree and affirm the judgment.
