State v. Johnson
Annotate this CaseAppellant pleaded guilty to one count of aiding and abetting first-degree premeditated intentional murder. The district court sentenced Appellant to a mandatory life sentence with the possibility of release after thirty years. More than eight years after Appellant was sentenced, the district court issued its restitution order, which ordered that Defendant be jointly and severally liable for paying $23,060 in restitution along with several of his codefendants. The Supreme Court affirmed in part, vacated in part, and remanded, holding (1) Defendant forfeited his argument that the restitution order improperly included restitution for losses for which an insurance company had already reimbursed the victim’s estate; (2) the order improperly calculated the restitution Appellant and his codefendants should pay for damage done to the victim’s car; and (3) the district court had statutory authority to order that the codefendants were jointly and severally liable for the restitution award.
