G. W. et al. v. STATE OF GEORGIA.
49548.
MARSHALL, Judge.
Delinquent minor. Glynn Juvenile Court. Before Judge Nathan.
This court's decision that it did not have jurisdiction of the appeal, G. W. v. State, 132 Ga. App. 499 (208 SE2d 356), was reversed on certiorari by the Supreme Court in 233 Ga. 274. We now consider the merits of the appeal.
Appellants' sole enumeration of error is that the evidence presented at the juvenile court adjudicatory hearing did not show beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendants committed the act alleged in the petition, to wit, theft by receiving stolen property.
Here, recent possession is not "standing alone." The appellants at no time offered an explanation of their possession of the stolen vehicle. A key which fit a vehicle parked on the same lot from which the stolen vehicle was removed, was found in the pocket of one of the appellants. Other keys were found strewn on the floor of the sales office and in the car lot. This evidence, in conjunction with recent possession, was sufficient to infer guilty knowledge.
W. Glenn Thomas, District Attorney, Cletus W. Bergen, II, Assistant District Attorney, for appellee.
Eric G. Kocker, for appellants.
DECIDED JANUARY 16, 1975.
