My question involves criminal law for the state of: California in which supervised felony probation was transferred to New Mexico.
As part of a plea deal a defendant was sentenced in California to 6 years of prison suspended, to 3 years supervised probation, and a restitution in excess of $10,000 per month for 10 felonies. However, there is no way the defendant can pay the given amount per month, in fact he does not even have a job.
I much rather see the defendant serve the 6 years. If the defendant misses the payments can he be violated and made to serve the prison sentence, or is there a way the defendant can skip out on payments and basically get away with the crimes.
I am not a recipient of restitution and mostly businesses were defrauded.
Thanks in advance,
JJ
