    Default High Restitution Amount Over 10k/Month

    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

    Out of curiosity, what is your interest here?

    Whether or not missing the payments is a violation depends upon the exact terms of his probation.
