In re Joshua M.
On December 27, 2011, a petition was filed pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 alleging 14-year-old appellant, Joshua M., feloniously carried a dirk or dagger (Pen. Code, § 12020, subd. (a)(4)).[1] At the conclusion of a contested jurisdiction hearing on April 25, 2012, the juvenile court found the allegation true beyond a reasonable doubt. At the disposition hearing on May 23, 2012, the juvenile court granted Joshua’s motion to treat the felony adjudication as a misdemeanor pursuant to section 17, subdivision (b). We reject Joshua’s contention on appeal that there was insufficient evidence before the juvenile court that he possessed a dirk or dagger.
