Adjudicated delinquent based on evidence of having participated in a mugging of three victims that involved kidnapping and robbery, minor B. M. appeals, challenging the sufficiency of the evidence. We hold that the testimony of one victim that B. M. hit that victim while the other two victims were simultaneously attacked by companions of B. M. sufficed to sustain a finding that B. M. was a party to the crimes involving the other two victims, particularly considering B. M.’s conduct before, during, and after the crimes. Accordingly, we affirm. Our standard of review in such matters is clear.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. Thus, the standard of review on appeal in a case of adjudication of delinquency of a juvenile is the same as that for any criminal case. In reviewing such cases, we do not weigh the evidence or determine witness credibility.Citations and punctuation omitted. In the Interest of A. D. 1
So construed, the evidence shows that late one night, a car filled with five young males including B. M. blocked in three victims, whom B. M. and his companions then approached. Brandishing a gun, one companion told the victims within earshot of B. M. that B. M. and the other companions were undercover police officers, which B. M. did not deny. The five males then attacked the three victims, with B. M. striking one victim in the face, another severely beating and robbing a second victim, and a third holding the gun to the head of the third victim and forcing him to the car, all the while threatening within earshot of B. M. to kill this third victim and his family if he disclosed the attack. B. M. and the other companions joined the gunman with the kidnap victim in the car and drove away together. B. M. made no effort to protest the actions of any of his companions. The kidnap victim escaped at a stop sign.
