In re J.G.
J.G. (minor) was found to have committed battery on a person with whom he had a dating relationship largely on the testimony of a witness who saw him beating a woman. The only evidence of a personal relationship between minor and the victim was minor’s own statement to police that the woman was his “girlfriend.†Minor contends the doctrine of corpus delicti required the prosecution to introduce evidence of the nature of the relationship independent of his statement. Finding no such requirement, we affirm.
