        "text": "JOSEPHINE LINKER Hart, Judge.\nAppellant, Lindsey Jerome J Swanner, was adjudicated a delinquent for committing two counts of second-degree criminal mischief, one a Class D felony and the other a Class B misdemeanor. See Ark. Code Ann. \u00a7 5-38-204 (Repl. 1997). At the delinquency adjudication hearing, the State submitted testimony from appellant\u2019s accomplices implicating him in the turning off of the main power breaker at the Polk County Health Office, which caused the spoilage of $10,145.85 worth of immunization vaccines, and in the spray painting of an exterior portion of the building.\nCiting the accomplice-corroboration rule, Ark. Code Ann. \u00a7 16-89-lll(e)(l) (1987), which provides that \u201c[a] conviction cannot be had in any case of felony upon the testimony of an accomplice unless corroborated by other evidence tending to connect the defendant with the commission of the offense,\u201d appellant argued below in his motion for a directed verdict and argues on appeal that he should not have been adjudicated a delinquent because there was insufficient evidence to corroborate the testimony of his accomplices. As noted by the State, however, the Arkansas Supreme Court has recently held that the accomplice-corroboration rule does not apply to juvenile proceedings. See Munhall v. State, 337 Ark. 41, 986 S.W.2d 863 (1999). Given this holding, we must conclude that the trial court properly denied appellant\u2019s motion for a directed verdict and affirm appellant\u2019s delinquency adjudication. While the court below concluded that there was adequate corroboration of the testimony of the accomplices and denied appellant\u2019s motion for a directed verdict, we may uphold the court\u2019s ruling if it was correct for any reason. See Warren v. State, 314 Ark. 192, 862 S.W.2d 222 (1993).\nAffirmed.\nJennings and Crabtree, JJ., agree.",
