State v. Guadagni

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• reasoning that for restitution to be awarded, there has to be a crime “committed against someone”
• noting that the facts underlying a conviction determine whether there are victims, and holding that two women (both legal wife and putative wife) were victims of the husband's single count of bigamy
• defendant ordered to pay restitution to wives who suffered economic losses as a direct result of bigamy because, although bigamy may occasionally be victimless, “the elements of a crime do not alone determine whether a particular person is entitled to restitution”
