FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND In January 2009, the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office (Yolo County D.A.) filed a Welfare and Institutions Code1 section 602 petition alleging the minor committed first degree burglary.

Several days later, the petition was amended a second time. The minor admitted to the allegations of trespassing, petty theft, and second degree burglary, with a maximum term of confinement totaling three years four months. The juvenile court terminated the minor’s probation and dismissed the remaining allegations. In February 2010, the minor was adjudged a ward of the court and placed in his grandmother’s custody.

On March 12, 2010, the Yolo County D.A. filed a new section 602 petition alleging the minor committed second degree robbery, conspiracy, and assault by means likely to cause great bodily injury.

The court placed the minor in the custody of his mother and continued him on probation. The court ordered the minor to serve 120 days in detention, and also ordered the probation department to look into counseling and other services for the minor. Between July 1, 2010, and November 13, 2012, the minor violated his probation seven times; the juvenile court continued the minor on probation each time. During that
