Syllabus

FELONIOUS ASSAULT — DEADLY WEAPON — EVIDENCE — SUFFICIENCY — RESTITUTION — DISPOSITION: The juvenile's adjudication for felonious assault was not supported by sufficient evidence where the State did not prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the child knowingly caused or attempted to cause physical harm to the victim by means of a deadly weapon because the child's actions and manner of use of the vehicle in rear-ending the victim's car did not prove that child used the vehicle as a deadly weapon. The juvenile court did not abuse its discretion in awarding restitution to repair the damage to the victim's vehicle because the record contains credible evidence that the damage to the dashboard was caused by the delinquent child while he possessed the vehicle. The juvenile court did not abuse its discretion in issuing dispositional orders because the dispositions were consistent with the statutory requirements and entered after the court considered the purposes of juvenile dispositions.
