1Opinion of the Court

Bernes, Judge.

On appeal from an adjudication of delinquency for terroristic threats, K. J. argues that the evidence was insufficient. We affirm.

[W]e view the evidence from an adjudicatory hearing in the light most favorable to the prosecution to determine whether a rational trier of fact could have found, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the juvenile committed the acts charged. The evidence is examined under the standard of Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U. S. 307, 318 (99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560) (1979), with all reasonable inferences construed in favor of the juvenile court’s findings.
