People v. Deadmond, 683 P.2d 763 (Colo. 1984)

Cases | People v. Deadmond, 683 P.2d 763 (Colo. 1984) | 2018

Defendant caused a car accident resulting in the victim’s death. Defendant was convicted of vehicular homicide and ordered to pay restitution to the victim’s husband as a condition of probation. Defendant appealed. The court held that the trial court lacked statutory authority to order restitution to the victim’s husband as a condition of probation. Payment of restitution is authorized only as to the victim of defendant’s conduct. Defendant was charged and convicted only of conduct causing the victim's death.

(This case cites former Colo. Rev. Stat. § 16-11-204.5.)
