In re Rico T.
Rico T., a minor, appeals an order of the juvenile court requiring him to pay restitution to the victim of his admitted crimes, felony assault with force likely to cause great bodily injury in violation of Penal Code section 245, subdivision (a)(1), and misdemeanor petty theft in violation of Penal Code section 484/488. He challenges the award to the extent it directed restitution in the amount of $2,520 for the victims lost income. This amount related to two weeks of missed work some five months after the assault but the victim claimed this loss to be on account of injuries flowing from it. The minor contends that this aspect of the restitution award is unjustified as speculative and unrelated to the victims losses incurred as a direct result of the crimes. Court reject these claims and affirm the order.
