Victims lose property, health, and time by becoming an unwilling participant in a crime.
Your claim should have been documented throughout the criminal justice process by the
District Attorney's Office, the Victim Witness Department, and the Probation Department who
writes the presentencing recommendations for the Courts.
Plea Bargaining should not eliminate any of the charges which impact the possible recovery
of your loss, as the prosecution can drop any charges with a Harvey Waiver to cover the
damages incurred from any charges not applied or prosecuted. This Harvey Waiver protects
you from losing your claim for restitution on any charges that, in the interest of time,
justice, or expediency, the District Attorney and the defense lawyer agree not to pursue.
Many times, the details and amount of your loss will be determined after the sentencing,
or pleaing of the offender. Most likely, the Probation Department will document your loss and
provide the court with a total amount for restitution to be ordered.
