People v. Walker
Annotate this CaseDefendant pled no contest to four counts of driving under the influence (DUI) and was sentenced to six years in state prison. The trial court ordered defendant to pay restitution to four persons - two who had been named in the charging document and two who had not been named but whom defendant conceded were involved in the accident he caused. The court held that a court may impose restitution for all victims of a single incident of DUI causing injury for which defendant is convicted and sentenced to prison, whether or not those victims are named in the charging document. The court concluded, however, that the trial court erred in staying three of the DUI causing injury convictions rather than dismissing them. There was only one instance of driving in this case and the three duplicative convictions must be dismissed. Accordingly, the court vacated the convictions and stayed sentences on counts two, three, and four. The court affirmed the judgment after this modification.
