In re Christian L. CA4/1
A petition under Welfare and Institutions section 602 was filed in the juvenile court alleging Christian L. (the Minor) committed first degree burglary (Pen. Code, §§ 459, 460); receiving stolen property with a value more than $950 (§ 496, subd. (a)); and giving false identification information to a police officer (§ 148.9, subd. (a)).
At the close of the prosecution's case the court granted a defense motion to dismiss all three counts for insufficient evidence. (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 701.1.) The prosecution asked the court to make a true finding that the Minor possessed stolen property valued at less than $950, a misdemeanor, as a lesser included offense of count 2. The court granted the request and found the lesser included offense had been proved.
