People v. Pittman
Annotate this CaseThis case involves an appeal from a postconviction order for restitution in the amount of $6,700. The defendant, Joshua Jereco Pittman, was ordered to pay this amount for jewelry stolen from the home of victims Michael F. and Betty F. The Court of Appeal of the State of California First Appellate District Division Four affirmed the trial court's restitution order. The court noted that a victim's estimate of the value of stolen items is sufficient to make a prima facie showing of loss, subject to rebuttal by the defendant. In this case, the victims' estimates were contained in a police report and in restitution forms, and the trial court did not abuse its discretion by relying on these estimates. The appellate court also found that evidence of replacement value for the stolen property was sufficient to support the restitution order.
