Supreme Court of Colorado

Donald Johnson, Petitioner v. the People of the State of Colorado, Respondent

September 12, 2016379 P.3d 323

Summary

The court held that the prosecution's motion to redirect restitution payments from an injured victim to her medical providers was not a new restitution request subject to the statutory filing deadline. The original order had already identified the same victims, losses, and total amount, and the payee change merely ensured that the providers received payments that had always been included in the award. The court affirmed the order and remanded for further proceedings consistent with its opinion.
