Syllabus

RESTITUTION – CROSS-APPEAL – APP.R. 3 – ATTORNEY FEES: The trial court erred in ordering that restitution be paid to the theft victim where that victim did not suffer any economic loss as a result of the commission of the offense. Where the state failed to file a cross-appeal from the trial court's restitution order, the appellate court is without authority to consider its argument that the restitution order should be changed by substituting the bank victim, who claimed to have suffered economic loss, for the theft victim, who did not suffer any economic loss. The trial court erred in imposing court-appointed-counsel fees as part of defendant's criminal sentence.
