How courts have described this case

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

  • explaining that restitution may not exceed the victim’s economic loss after crediting payments from a civil settlement
  • stating the distinction between civil damages and restitution means that a victim’s release of civil liability does not prevent the court from ordering the criminal law remedy of restitution
  • “[T[he statutory scheme contains no hint that the Legislature intended to go beyond full compensation and confer a windfall.”
  • in reviewing statutory scheme, the court must attempt to determine the legislative intent, review the statutory language, and examine the subject matter, effects, consequences, reason and spirit of the statute
  • “Because a primary purpose of restitution is to make the victim whole, and the other aim of restitution is rehabilitative rather than punitive, payment beyond that necessary to compensate does not serve the Legislature’s purposes”
