What is the standard of proof at a restitution hearing?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Youshock, A147806 (Cal. App. 2018):
"A restitution order is reviewed for abuse of discretion and will not be reversed unless it is arbitrary or capricious. [Citation.] No abuse of discretion will be found where there is a rational and factual basis for the amount of restitution ordered. ' "[T]he standard of proof at a restitution hearing is by a preponderance of the evidence, not proof beyond a reasonable doubt." ' [Citation.]" (People v. Gemelli (2008) 161 Cal.App.4th 1539, 1542.)
