CALIFORNIA RESTITUTION - UNDOCUMENTED CLAIMS OF LOSS
People v. Gemelli (C.A. 4th, 4/18/08, E043682) 08 C.D.O.S. 4598
A victim's "bare, unverified" statement of losses is sufficient to sustain an order for direct restitution under Penal Code section 1202.4, subdivision (f). This court disagrees with People v. Vournazos (1988) 198 Cal.App.3d 948.
The defendant's testimony refuting amounts did not have to be believed.
