In re Kimberly C.
Appellant Kimberly C. committed misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter without gross negligence (Pen. Code, 192, subd. (c)(2) [section 192(c)(2)]), as a result of a collision which killed the driver of a motorcycle and seriously injured his passenger. The passenger incurred substantial medical expenses. Appellant and her parents appeal from restitution orders of the juvenile court which direct appellant to pay over $700,000, and her parents $5,000, in restitution to the passenger and two members of her family. The primary contention on appeal is that the motorcycle passenger was not a victim of the crime of misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter, and thus is not the proper subject of a restitution order. Court affirmed the adjudication of wardship in a prior appeal.
