Michael Flayifgan Attorney for Ifr. Murray MOTION FOR DISCOVERY 10 a 2 a u ay ae 19 20 a 22 23 24 as 27 28 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) 126 Cal.App 4th 463, 46: n, (1985) 176 Cal, App.3d 67, 80 Mt People v. Bawmai 3 MOTION FoR DIscovERY
