We cite Miller for the proposition that a person who suffers only an indirect loss is not a "crime victim." The separate issue of whether a public entity is a "person" entitled to restitution under Government Code section 13967 is pending before the Supreme Court in People v. Gregg (1992), reprinted at 9 Cal.App.4th 814 [4 Cal.Rptr.2d 720] to permit tracking pending review. Our decision that County lacks standing because it is not a crime victim is not based on its status as a public entity, but rather on the indirect nature of the loss it has incurred.
