• recognizing that in juvenile delinquency proceedings, the delinquent act must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.
• holding the evidence sufficient to support a finding that the juvenile, a front seat passenger of a vehicle occupied by four persons, was in possession of marijuana recovered from a crumpled piece of newspaper behind the driver’s seat
• holding officer's testimony that he previously smelled marijuana was sufficient foundation for officer to testify he smelled marijuana inside a car, and testimony was a lay opinion because it was based on the officer's perception of the odor
