Syllabus

Trial court erred in ordering the payment of restitution in the full amount of the victim's medical expenses. Based on the testimony at the restitution hearing, it was clear that the victim had health insurance, and it was likely that some or all of the medical expenses would be covered by insurance. Double recovery is not permitted, and the court's failure to determine the amount of restitution to a reasonable degree of certainty was error. Judgment affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded for further consideration of restitution order.
