Juvenile law — Sufficiency of the evidence — Second-degree assault and disturbing school activities

Following an adjudication hearing in the Circuit Court for Prince George’s County, sitting as a juvenile court, on October 11, 2013, Damir M. (“Damir”), appellant, was found to have been involved in one count of assault in the second degree and one count of disturbing school activities. The juvenile court subsequently committed appellant to the Maryland Department of Juvenile Justice for placement in a Level C facility. The court also ordered Damir to pay $760.44 in restitution.

In his timely filed appeal, Damir raises two questions for our consideration: 1. Did the juvenile court fail to comply with Maryland Rule 11-114(f) in ruling at the adjudicatory hearing? 2. Is the evidence sufficient to support the juvenile court’s adjudications of involvement?
