Syllabus

Appellant, a juvenile, was adjudicated delinquent for an act that, if committed by an adult, would have constituted the offense of assault. The adjudication was not against the manifest weight of the evidence, and, as such, it was supported by sufficient evidence. The victim's status as an employee of a juvenile detention facility whose duties included intervening in fights between juveniles housed in the facility did not prevent this conclusion. Finally, the juvenile court did not improperly use the doctrine of transferred intent in concluding that the juvenile acted knowingly. Judgment affirmed.
