P. v. Mejia
Defendant pled guilty to one count of grand theft. (Pen. Code, 487, subd. (a).)[1] As part of her plea, defendant agreed to pay victim restitution in an amount yet to be determined. After a later hearing to determine that amount, the court ordered defendant to pay a total of $19,334.40. Defendant appeals, essentially contending that there were two separate thefts of the victims property and that she was only responsible for the first theft; hence, she argues, the court erred in determining she was responsible for restitution of the total value of all the stolen property. Court find the courts determination of victim restitution was well within its discretion and, therefore, affirm the judgment below.
