State v. Knight
Annotate this CaseDefendant pleaded guilty in the trial court to a number of burglaries and thefts committed from nearby residences in the woods near Rome. When Defendant was sentenced, he paid almost an entire agreed amount of restitution for the victims of the burglaries and thefts. In addition, the court ordered Defendant to pay $1,125 to the Maine State Police (MSP) for expenses it incurred when it repaired a woods road it used during the criminal investigation. The Supreme Judicial Court vacated the order of restitution but affirmed the remaining aspects of the judgment of conviction and the related sentence, holding that, under the circumstances of this case, the MSP was not a statutorily eligible recipient of restitution.
