California Court of Appeal

Reversing and remanding the case of a couple that defrauded five investors out of hundreds of thousands of dollars in a real estate scheme who pleaded guilty to three counts of fraud in connection with the offer, sale, and purchase of a security and two counts of grand theft of personal property because the trial court did not have the discretion to sentence them to county jail rather than prison and improperly calculated restitution, but rejecting the argument that the court abused its discretion in denying probation.
