In re Darrin H.
The juvenile court found true allegations that appellant had committed two counts of robbery and single counts of carjacking, receiving stolen property, possession of a controlled substance, wanton driving while in flight from a pursuing police officer, and fleeing the scene of an accident. Court also found that he personally used a firearm during the commission of the two robberies. Defendant was committed to the California Youth Authority for an eight-year term of confinement and ordered to pay almost $4,500 in restitution. Defendant appeals the disposition order, (1) challenging the sufficiency of evidence of carjacking and robbery; (2) contending that insufficient evidence of probable benefit supports his CYA commitment; and (3) asserting that the restitution order must be reduced because some relocation expenses claimed and ordered to be paid were not properly verified. Court reverses the restitution order in part with instructions for the juvenile court to allow law enforcement or mental health verification of the necessity of relocation expenses, but otherwise affirms the restitution order and the disposition order.
