Alexander v. State
Annotate this CaseAppellant was found guilty of two counts of aggravated battery and sentenced to a term of years in the Department of Correction. The State sought restitution, and the trial court scheduled a restitution hearing. Before the hearing on restitution, Appellant filed a notice of appeal. The State moved to dismiss the appeal on the grounds that the appeal was premature because there had been no resolution of whether or how much restitution would be ordered. The court of appeals subsequently dismissed the appeal as premature. The Supreme Court granted transfer and remanded the case to the court of appeals for consideration of the points raised in Appellant’s brief, holding that, due to confusion about appellate deadlines and in view of the delay already in this case, Appellant’s appeal should be addressed on the merits even though the issue of restitution remained unresolved. Remanded.
