MEMORANDUM
STATEMENT OF THE CASE
On November 7, 2011, a jury found Dr. Conrad Murray guilty of a violation of
Penal Code section 192, subdivision (b), involuntary manslaughter. During the course of
the criminal jury trial complex legal and medical issues were at the heart of the
adversarial process. Dr. Murray was sentenced on November 29, 2011, and a restitution
hearing was scheduled for January 23, 2012.
PREVIOUS REQUEST FOR DISCOVERY
On November 21, 2011, the defense asked this court for permission to analyze
Exhibit number 30, the 100 ml. Propofol boitle, prior to sentencing, which request was
denied. Now that the court has determined to have a hearing, i.e. restitution, the new
issue of comparative fault has arisen and the defense believes the new analysis is relevant
for comparative allocation of responsibility.
RESTITUTION
Pursuant to the California Constitution, Article I, Section 28 subdivision (b), as
implemented by Penal Code section 1202.4, trial courts, in imposing sentence or in
granting probation, the court must make specified orders concerning restitution to victims
unless the court finds compelling and extraordinary reasons not to. People v. Clifton,
(1985) 172 Cal.App.3d 1165,
In restitution hearings a prima facie case can be made for restitution through the
victim’s testimony, claims, or statements about the amount of economic loss. When the
People make their prima facie showing of economic loss suffered by the vietim(s) the
burden shifts to the defendant to demonstrate the loss is different than that claimed by the
victim(s). People v. Prosser, (2007) 157 Cal.App.4th 682, 690-691 The standard of proof|
ata restitution hearing is by a preponderance of the evidence, People v. Baker, (2005)
