In re S.G. CA2/7
Opinion
Opinion
INTRODUCTION
S.G., a minor at the time the offenses were committed, appeals the juvenile court’s disposition order sustaining a petition under Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 and declaring S.G. a ward of the court.1 The court sustained allegations that S.G. committed murder and attempted premeditated murder, and it ordered S.G. committed to a secure youth treatment facility for a base term of seven years and a maximum term of 15 years to life. S.G. argues that law enforcement arrested him without probable cause and violated his Fifth Amendment rights by soliciting incriminating statements during an undercover operation after he had invoked his right to counsel. S.G. further argues he is entitled to the ameliorative benefit of Assembly Bill No. 200, which amended the secure youth treatment facility commitment statute in section 875 after his disposition hearing. We affirm the juvenile court’s order sustaining the petition, but we vacate the disposition and remand for a new disposition hearing so the court may apply the amendments to section 875 to
S.G.
