A juvenile court adjudicated H. A. delinquent for committing acts that would, if he were an adult, amount to burglary in violation of OCGA § 16-7-1. The sole evidence that H. A. committed these acts is that his fingerprint was found on a bottle of tonic water that was moved during the burglary, and H. A. contends on appeal that this evidence is insufficient to sustain his adjudication of delinquency.1 We disagree and affirm the judgment below. To prove that a juvenile is delinquent for committing acts of a criminal nature, the State must prove the commission of these acts beyond a reasonable doubt, just as it would in a criminal prosecution of an adult for the same acts. See In the Interest of A. A ., 293 Ga. App. 827, 828 668 SE2d 323 2008. So, when a juvenile challenges the sufficiency of the evidence, we apply the standard set forth in Jackson v. Virginia , 443 U. S. 307 99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560 1979, and we consider whether the evidence adduced at the hearing would permit a rational trier of fact to conclude beyond a reasonable doubt that the juvenile committed the acts with which he is charged. See A. A ., 293 Ga. App. at 828; see also In the Interest of J. C ., 308 Ga. App. 336, 337 708 SE2d 1 2011. In considering the sufficiency of the evidence, we view the evidence in the light most favorable to the adjudication below, keeping in mind that it is for the trier of fact, not this Court, to weigh this evidence, resolve any conflicts in the evidence, and assess the credibility of witnesses. See A. A ., 293 Ga. App. at 828; see also In the Interest of Q. S. , __Ga. App.__ 1 Case No. A11A0037, decided June 16, 2011.
So viewed, the evidence shows that a DeKalb County resident went out to run errands on the morning of June 1, 2009, and when he returned to his home about thirty-five minutes later, he observed that the front door had been forcibly opened. Upon entering the home, he discovered that several items of personal property —two televisions, a laptop computer, a flat-screen computer monitor, a camera, and a satellite receiver —were missing. The victim also observed that a bottle of beer and a two-liter bottle of tonic water had been moved from the kitchen to another part of the house. A police officer later lifted a latent fingerprint from the bottle of tonic water, and it matched the fingerprint of 17-year-old H. A., whom the victim never had met.
