P. v. Torres
Defendant Raul Torres challenges his convictions for felony child endangerment and felony vandalism. He also says the court violated the ex post facto laws in affixing the amount of the restitution fines imposed against him. Substantial evidence supports the convictions for felony child endangerment and felony vandalism. However, we agree that the amounts of the restitution fines should be reduced from $240 to $200 each because the trial court intended to impose the minimum restitution fines and it imposed the minimum restitution fines in effect at the time of sentencing rather than the minimum restitution fines in effect at the time the crimes were committed. We affirm the judgment but direct that the abstract of judgment be corrected to set the restitution fines at $200 each.
