P. v. Madrigal
Defendant entered a negotiated plea of guilty to two counts of first degree burglary in exchange for dismissal of the remaining counts and a stipulated prison term of five years and four months. The trial court imposed two $1,000 restitution fines that had not been mentioned by the prosecutor when he recited the parties plea agreement.
On appeal, defendant contends that imposition of the fine violated his plea agreement, thereby entitling him to have the fine reduced to the statutory minimum of $200 pursuant to People v. Walker (1991) 54 Cal.3d 1013. For the reasons stated in the California Supreme Courts recent decision in People v. Crandell (2007) 40 Cal.4th 1301, Court reject the contention and affirm the judgment.
