P. v. Mitchell CA2/7
Anthony Lamar Mitchell appeals from a victim restitution order entered following his conviction on a plea of no contest to attempted murder and other charges after Mitchell forced his ex-girlfriend into the backseat of her car and deliberately crashed it into several parked cars. Mitchell contends the trial court erred in ordering him to pay $17,598.10 in restitution to the owner of one of the damaged vehicles because the owner did not qualify as a “victim” under Penal Code section 1202.4. Because we do not read the restitution statute as narrowly as Mitchell does, we affirm.
