State v. Sevastopoulos
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court reversed in part and affirmed in part the restitution order of the district court in connection with Defendant's conviction of theft and theft by deception and otherwise affirmed, holding that litigation expenses incurred in collateral litigation are an appropriate element of restitution under the Crime Victims Restitution Act.
On appeal from her conviction and sentence, Defendant challenged the decision to include certain fees in the restitution order and further raised a series of objections to the inclusion of certain electronic transfers in the calculation of the amount of the victims' losses. The State confessed error as to certain transfers, and the court of appeals reversed and remanded for entry of an amended order of restitution but rejected Defendant's other contentions. The Supreme Court remanded to the district court to allow it to enter an amended restitution order excluding the amounts of the four subject transactions but otherwise affirmed, holding that Defendant failed to establish any ground for questioning any of the other electronic transfers in question.
