Is a defendant entitled to a medical examination after he has been convicted and sentenced?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Grissom, C080306 (Cal. App. 2018):

Section 1203.1h, subdivision (b), does not authorize reimbursement to law enforcement for medical examinations occurring after the defendant has been convicted and sentenced; there is no need "for the collection and preservation of evidence" at that point. Nor would the ordered payments fall within appropriate direct victim restitution, as the payments would be to law enforcement for investigative costs. (People v. Ozkan (2004) 124 Cal.App.4th 1072, 1077.) Accordingly, we will modify the judgment to strike the order for reimbursement of medical examination costs.
