In re A.L.
On December 21, 2011, the Santa Clara County District Attorney filed an amended wardship petition under Welfare and Institutions Code section 602, subdivision (a) alleging that A.L. committed attempted murder (Pen. Code, §§ 187, 664, victim Jane Doe., count one),[1] possessed a weapon on school grounds (§ 626.20, subd. (a), count two),[2] carried a dirk or dagger concealed on his person (§ 12020, subd. (a)(4), count three), stalked Jane (§ 646.9, subd. (a), count four), resisted, delayed or obstructed a police officer (§ 148, subd. (a)(1), count five), and attempted to kidnap Jane (§§ 207, subd. (a), 644, count six). The petition contained allegations that as to the attempted murder count, the stalking count and the attempted kidnapping count A.L. was armed with a knife.
Thereafter, following a contested jurisdiction hearing, the juvenile court sustained the 602 petition finding four of the allegations to be true. Specifically, the court found true the allegations of attempted murder while armed, possession of a knife on school grounds, possession of a dirk or dagger, and evading a police officer. The court found not true the stalking and attempted kidnapping allegations.
Subsequently, on January 9, 2012, the court declared A.L a ward of court, and ordered him removed from the custody of his parents. The court placed A.L. in the custody of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation Division of Juvenile Facilities.[3]
