California Court of Appeal

In a minor's appeal of juvenile court adjudication and disposition orders declared him a ward of the court and sustained a petition that the People filed under Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 alleging that he had committed felony vandalism, Pen. Code section 594(a) and (b)(1), and misdemeanor vandalism, section 594(b)(2), and misdemeanor possession of an aerosol container with intent to vandalize, section 594.1(e)(1), the juvenile court's order is reversed in part where there is insufficient evidence to support the court's finding on the felony vandalism count that he caused $400 or more in property damage, which is the amount of damage necessary to punish vandalism as a felony rather than as a misdemeanor.
