A San Francisco Court Gets 'It' Right for Once!
« on: September 29, 2009, 10:34:30 PM »
Burglar must repay victim for time in court!

Quote
In a broad interpretation of a law requiring criminals to make restitution to their victims, a state appeals court has ordered a Northern California burglar to repay a homeowner for the wages he gave up by attending every court hearing in the case.

The court, observing that burglary can make people feel they are unsafe in their own homes, said Jason Lee Moore owes something to the victim who attempted to heal his psyche by attending all 50 hours of court proceedings.

To be exact, Moore owes the man $6,250.

Before, or after Commiefornia taxes?

Sorry to sound so cynical, but I've long since given up on that state. It is permanently doomed to FAIL.

Since it sounds like it's for lost work time, it probably is taxable.  Compensation for actual injuries generally is not.
