B.C. v. R.B.C., 2025 Ore. App. LEXIS 1404 (Or. Ct. App. 2025)

The Oregon Court of Appeals reversed a juvenile court adjudication based on insufficient evidence and provided the following language in support below.

“Our case law makes clear, however, that [a] youth must have done more to be liable as an accomplice.” Youth did not have a legal obligation to refrain from being present or to discourage the behavior of V. Id. Her mere presence, and her willingness to identify a stolen item when asked by an investigating officer, do not establish that she was guilty of criminal behavior.”
