In re J.V.
Annotate this CaseA 2006 juvenile delinquency petition alleged that then-16-year-old J. unlawfully took or drove a motor vehicle; received stolen property; and committed conspiracy. J. entered a negotiated admission to count 1 as reduced to a misdemeanor; counts 2 and 3 were dismissed. The juvenile court established wardship and placed him on probation in the custody of his parents. Months later, that court ordered J. to pay restitution of $2,357.65, jointly and severally with a co-responsible. At a subsequent hearing, the probation officer stated that J. had not made any payment, but had agreed to begin making bi-weekly payments. As of about five months later, he had paid $251, leaving a balance of $2,106.65. About three months later, J. cut off his electronic monitoring device and ran away. After he was apprehended, J. acknowledged the restitution debt. The court later signed an Order for Restitution and Abstract of Judgment, for J. and his parents and a co-responsible to pay the restitution, terminated probation, and dismissed the wardship. The court of appeal affirmed, rejecting an argument that the order must be vacated because it was issued after J. turned 21 years old, the age at which the juvenile court’s jurisdiction terminated.
