California Supreme Court

People v. McCune

August 8, 2024

Summary

The court held that a trial court retains statutory authority to determine the amount of victim restitution after probation ends when restitution was ordered at sentencing but the victim's losses could not then be ascertained. The probation statute does not impose a deadline on the separate, more specific authority governing deferred restitution calculations, although the court must act once the losses can be determined and without needless delay. The court affirmed the judgment of the Court of Appeal.
