P. v. Faulk
Defendant, Opal Leanne Faulk, was sentenced to three years in prison[1] after pleading no contest to being an accessory to murder after the fact. In 1988 defendant had helped her then-husband escape responsibility for the shotgun murders of his two elderly employers. In this appeal, defendant contends the trial court improperly imposed a restitution fine to reimburse the victims’ daughter for funeral expenses. Specifically, defendant argues that the facts behind her conviction for being an accessory to murder after the fact exclude her from being the cause of the victims’ funeral expenses.
