• explaining the difference between subject-matter jurisdiction and particular-case jurisdiction and unlike subject-matter jurisdiction, particular-case jurisdiction is subject to waiver
• stating that an issue can be waived through inaction
• “That leaves felony prosecutions within the jurisdiction of the circuit court. And when a court has jurisdiction over a felony prosecution, it also has subject-matter jurisdiction over restitution related to the crime.”
• “Almost all issues are subject to waiver, whether from inaction or consent, even in a criminal case .... [t]he lone exception to this rule, of course, is when the question is whether the trial court had general subject-matter jurisdiction.” (citations omitted
