In re Taylor M.
2006, Taylor M. admitted the allegations of a Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 petition that he committed arson of the property of another, as well as vandalism causing damage in excess of $400. (Pen. Code, 451, subd. (d); 594, subd. (b)(1).) In 2006, the juvenile court placed appellant in a deferred entry of judgment (DEJ) program. He now appeals from the court's subsequent order revoking his DEJ placement, declaring him to be a ward of the court, and placing him on probation. Appellant contends that the court abused its discretion and violated his constitutional rights by failing to reduce his monthly restitution to an amount that he could afford, and by revoking his DEJ placement for failing to make restitution payments.
