Q: my offender was sentenced 4/14/20. restitution 5/26/21 why is there more hearings (Further Proceedings) Location(SCH)??
The case is closed and offender in prison. Why do I see the court websjte showing to other hearing after restifution showing as (further Proceedings) and the location shows as (LOCATION SCH) Rather than the original location been (Compton courthouse dept .10) what can this mean. The D.A has failed to inform me of this hearings which is my right to know. So I want answers to know what to do.
A: Here is a partial answer, that may be helpful. Restitution is essentially paying a victim for property damage, bodily injury, etc.; for the victims economic out of pocket losses. Restitution issues take time to resolve, and is not ordered by the court until after sentencing. It is possible to have mutliple restitution hearings before it resolves. However, to know exactly what is happening on this case, one would have to ask the attorneys assigned to the case (defense and prosecutor) what is happening. Otherwise, it is just guessing.
