1Opinion of the Court

Hines, Justice.

R. B. W. was alleged to be delinquent for violating OCGA § 16-11-127.1 by carrying a knife while on a school bus. R. B. W. moved to dismiss the petition. Based on stipulated facts, the motion was denied and R. B. W. was adjudicated delinquent.

In order to support an adjudication of delinquency, the evidence must be such that a reasonable finder of fact could have found, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the juvenile committed the act charged. In the Interest of R. L. W., 225 Ga. App. 253 (483 SE2d 361) (1997); see Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U. S. 307, 319 (99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560)…
