JUDICIAL DECISIONS Editor’s notes. - In light of the similarity of the statutory provisions, decisions under pre-2000 Code Section 15-11-4, which was subsequently repealed but was succeeded by provisions in this Code section, are included in the annotations for this Code section. See the Editor’s notes at the beginning of the chapter. Commitment to Department of Juvenile Justice proper. - Contrary to the defendant’s contention, the defendant’s commitment to the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) pursuant to former
O.C.G.A. § 15-11-66(a)(4) (see now O.C.G.A. § 15-11-601) was authorized as the defendant was on probation for a delinquent act and violated the terms of probation which was also a delinquent act and commitment to DJJ was found to be the treatment or rehabilitation best suited to the child’s needs. In the Interest of B. Q. L. E., 297 Ga. App. 273, 676 S.E.2d 742, cert. denied, No. S09C1197, 2009 Ga. LEXIS 787 (Ga. 2009) (decided under former O.C.G.A. § 15-11-4).
