Description
[1] AGID, J. -- The juvenile court found Charles Roland Cheatham guilty of violating former RCW 9.41.040, which criminalizes the possession of firearms by persons previously convicted or adjudicated of a crime of violence or a felony involving a firearm. To establish Cheatham's predicate offense, the State introduced evidence of his 1989 juvenile disposition for second degree burglary, a crime designated as a crime of violence under former RCW 9.41.010(2)(a). On appeal, Cheatham contends there is insufficient evidence to uphold his conviction. He argues that the wording of former RCW 9.41.040 is insufficiently precise to incorporate prior juvenile offenses within its scope and, therefore, it only prohibits possession of firearms by persons with prior adult convictions.*fn1 We hold that although juveniles cannot technically be convicted of crimes under the Juvenile Justice Act (JJA), the term "crime of violence" in former RCW 9.41.040(1) applies to both juvenile dispositions and adult convictions for the offenses listed there. Accordingly, we affirm Cheatham's conviction.
