State v. Barrick
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of criminal mischief and cruelty to animals for fatally shooting a family dog.The district court ordered that Defendant to pay the entire $9,357 claimed by the family in restitution. The amount included medical expenses the family members sustained due to the stress of losing the dog and lost wages they incurred as a result of leaving work to cooperate in the prosecution of the offenses. The Supreme Court affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded, holding that the district court (1) erred by ordering Defendant to pay restitution to the victims for lost wages; (2) did not err by ordering Defendant to pay restitution for one victim’s medical bills; and (3) did not abuse its discretion by denying Defendant’s motion to produce records.
