In the Interest of Q. D.

Following a full hearing in the juvenile court of Spalding County, Q. D. and D. D., two brothers ages 11 and 13 respectively, appeal their adjudication of delinquency for committing acts which, had they been committed by an adult, would constitute the offense of criminal damage to property in the second degree. They argue that the evidence was insufficient to authorize their convictions. Finding no error, we affirm. Viewed in the light most favorable to the verdict,1 the evidence shows that the Spalding County Sheriff’s Office was contacted by Greg Pruitt, the owner of the house located at 121 Wilder Way, Griffin, regarding vandalism that had occurred to the house between October 15, 2002, and October 22, 2002, after his last tenant had vacated the premises. Red lamp oil was strewn throughout the house over the carpet and walls. Several windows were broken. And numerous large and small holes had been made in the walls of every room in the house.

Christopher Wright testified at trial that, after the last tenants moved out of the house on Wilder Way, he was at Jacques Brewster’s house with Q. D., D. D., and Pharoh Loving. Both Q. D. and D. D. stated that they wanted to go into the Wilder Way house. Later that day, the boys left Brewster’s house and went to Wright’s house. Again, D. D. stated that he wanted to go into the Wilder Way house. After staying at Wright’s house about 20 minutes, Q. D. and D. D. left. About two weeks later, as Wright walked through the backyard of the Wilder Way house, he saw through an uncovered window a hole in the wall of one of the bedrooms. Loving later told him that “they went inside the house.” Loving did not state who they were.
