State v. Anderson
Annotate this CaseIn 2008, Appellant was convicted of first-degree premeditated murder. The district court sentenced Appellant to life imprisonment and reserved the issue of restitution for thirty days. The court, however, took no further action on the restitution issue until 2014, when the court granted the restitution request and ordered Appellant to pay $6,500 in restitution. Appellant filed a motion to stop the restitution payments and return the funds taken. The district court denied the motion, concluding that Appellant had properly been served with the restitution request and had failed to timely object to it. The Supreme Court affirmed as modified, holding (1) the district court had the statutory authority to order restitution and did not abuse its discretion in ordering Appellant to pay $6,500 in restitution; and (2) the court properly denied Appellant’s motion to return the funds taken, as the motion was not properly before the district court.
