The juvenile court adjudicated C. L. delinquent after finding that he was guilty of acts, which if committed by an adult, would constitute the crimes of criminal attempt to hijack a motor vehicle and aggravated assault. C. L. appeals, contending that the evidence was insufficient and that the juvenile court should have granted his motion for a continuance. For the reasons discussed below, we affirm in part and reverse in part. 1. C. L. argues that the juvenile court erred in adjudicating him delinquent because there was insufficient evidence that he committed the acts charged in the delinquency petition. On appeal, we view the evidence from an adjudicatory hearing in the light most favorable to the prosecution to determine whether a rational trier of fact could have found, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the juvenile committed the acts charged. The evidence is examined under the standard of Jackson v. Virginia , 443 U. S. 307, 318 99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560 1979, with all reasonable inferences construed in favor of the juvenile court’s findings.Citations omitted. In the Interest of M. F. , 276 Ga. App. 402-403 1 623 SE2d 234 2005.
So viewed, the evidence shows that at approximately 10:00 p. m. on May 12, 2007, Christal Davis, her husband Martin Davis, and their infant son were in the family car at an intersection in Glynn County. Mrs. Davis was driving the vehicle, while Mr. Davis sat in the front passenger seat. While waiting for the traffic light to change, the Davises noticed three males standing on the side of the road who appeared to be arguing with one another. The three males were later identified as C. L., Rudy Figueroa, and Brandon Crittendon. As the three males argued, Mrs. Davis saw C. L. throw his hands up into the air “like he was mad about something, frustrated and fed up.” Crittendon then approached the Davis’ vehicle, pulled out a handgun from under his shirt, tapped the gun on Mrs. Davis’ window, tugged on her door, and began yelling. Mrs. Davis quickly drove the car away from the intersection as Mr. Davis called the police on his cell phone.
