P. v. Pichel CA4/2
In 2005, defendant and appellant Lynda Pichel was convicted of first degree murder and kidnapping. She was subsequently sentenced to a term of eight years, plus a consecutive term of 25 years to life in state prison. In addition, defendant, along with her codefendants, was ordered to pay restitution of $7,500 to reimburse the Victim Compensation Board for funeral and burial expenses provided to the victim’s family pursuant to section 1202.4, subdivision (f). In January 2017, defendant requested the trial court to modify her abstract of judgment to clarify the restitution liability imposed was joint and several, so that she would be credited for any payments made by her codefendants toward the total restitution. The trial court summarily denied defendant’s request on February 8, 2017. This appeal followed.
