In the Interest of J. Q. W.
Court of Appeals of Georgia
1Opinion of the Court
Bernes, Judge.
The juvenile court adjudicated J. Q. W. delinquent for committing theft by receiving stolen property, a motor vehicle.* 1 J. Q. W. *445contends that there was insufficient evidence to support the juvenile court’s findings. We agree and thus reverse.
When reviewing the sufficiency of evidence supporting a juvenile court’s adjudication, we apply the same standard of review used in criminal cases. We construe the evidence in favor of the court’s adjudication and determine if a rational trier of fact could have found beyond a reasonable doubt that the juvenile committed the acts charged.
