IN RE: WENDY L.
//April 24, 2015
JUVENILE LAW — SUFFICIENCY OF THE EVIDENCE — TRUANCY — On April 9, 2014, the Circuit Court for Prince George’s County, sitting as a juvenile court, convicted appellant, Wendy L., of a violation of the school attendance requirements law set forth in § 7-301 of the Education Article. Appellant was sentenced to two weekends of incarceration, which the juvenile court suspended. The trial court further imposed a period of three years probation. A timely appeal was filed in which appellant presents one question for our review:
“Was the evidence insufficient to convict the Appellant of truancy because the State did not prove that her daughter skipped school?”
