  2. In Interest of I. C

    300 Ga. App. 683 (Ga. Ct. App. 2009)   Cited 5 times
    Holding that even if one of juvenile court's factual findings was not supported by evidence, court's restrictive custody order was not required to be vacated given that court's other findings of fact were supported by evidence and showed circumstances that authorized the order

    In considering a challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence supporting an adjudication of delinquency, we construe the evidence and every inference from the evidence in favor of the juvenile court's adjudication to determine if a reasonable finder of fact could have found, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the juvenile committed the acts charged.In the Interest of C. M., 290 Ga. App. 788, 789 (1) ( 661 SE2d 598) (2008). Our determination is made in accordance with the standard set forth in Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U. S. 307 ( 99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560) (1979), and we neither weigh the evidence nor judge the credibility of witnesses.
