P. v. Escobar
Appellant Caesar Escobar appeals from a restitution order issued by the trial court after he pled no contest to robbery in violation of Penal Code section 211 and involuntary manslaughter in violation of section 192, subdivision (b). On February 23, 2006, the trial court ordered appellant to pay restitution for the victims medical and burial bills of $25,063.82 as follows: $505 to Providence Holy Cross Trauma; $761 to California Emergency Physicians; $6,547.02 to Mission Hills Catholic Mortuary; $10,699 to Providence Holy Cross Medical Center; and $6,551.80 to Catholic Cemeteries Archdiocese of Los Angeles. At a subsequent hearing on March 7, 2006, upon being informed by the People that the cemetery and the mortuary bills had been paid in full by the victims wife, Maria Del Carmen Gonzalez (Gonzalez), the trial court modified the order in part by ordering appellant to pay the amounts of $6,547.02 and $6,551.80 directly to Gonzalez.
Court affirm and modify with directions.
