Is Defendant's failure to turn himself in to the authorities a result of his failure to comply with the terms of his sentence?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Nordstrom, C053195 (Cal. App. 6/22/2007), C053195 (Cal. App. 2007):
We agree with the trial court. Defendant's failure to turn himself in compounds his culpability. Accordingly, the trial court's conclusion was neither arbitrary nor capricious and therefore not an abuse of discretion. (See People v. Buford (1974) 42 Cal.App.3d 975, 985.)
