Does the Attorney General have an obligation to each defendant to pay the full amount of the victim's damages?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Cornejo, 207 Cal.Rptr.3d 366, 3 Cal.App.5th 36 (Cal. App. 2016):

The final claim asserted by all defendants is that their respective abstracts of judgment must be modified to reflect the victim restitution order is a joint and several obligation. The Attorney General concedes the point. We accept the concession and order the modification. (See People v. Leon (2004) 124 Cal.App.4th 620, 622, 21 Cal.Rptr.3d 394 [trial court may impose liability on each defendant to pay the full amount of the economic loss as long as the victim does not obtain a double recovery]; People v. Blackburn (1999) 72 Cal.App.4th 1520, 1535, 86 Cal.Rptr.2d 134 [to avoid double recovery, the court has authority to order victim restitution paid jointly and severally].)
