The following excerpt is from In re R.J., G040143 (Cal. App. 3/24/2009), G040143 (Cal. App. 2009):
Substantial evidence supports the juvenile court's finding appellant had the right to control the gun that was found in this case. He was seen standing directly in front of the vending truck before and after the hand exchange occurred, and he never strayed far from that general area, at least not before the police made their presence known. And when that happened, he fled the scene immediately, which is also indicative of his guilt. (See People v. Garcia (2008) 168 Cal.App.4th 261, 283.)
