State of Minnesota v. Henry Albert Allison, Jr.

Syllabus

Minnesota Statutes section 611A.01(b) (2022) creates a singular class of victims that includes the direct victims of a crime and, if the direct victim is a minor, those family members of the minor who incur a personal loss or harm as a direct result of the crime. This singular class of victims has a right to receive restitution under Minnesota Statutes section 611A.04, subdivision 1(a) (2022). 2. The district court did not abuse its discretion when awarding the victim mother restitution for the personal losses that followed naturally as a consequence of the crime committed against her minor child. Affirmed.
