Sentencing – restitution — ability to pay
Ericka A. Thomas entered pleas pursuant to North Carolina v. Alford, 400 U.S. 25 (1970) (persons may accept conviction even though they contend that they are innocent) to four counts of Medicaid fraud. See Wis. Stat. § 49.49(1)(a)1. See State v. Garcia, 192 Wis. 2d 845, 857–858, 532 N.W.2d 111, 115–116 (1995) (Wisconsin permits Alford pleas). She argues that she cannot pay the $356,366.33 ordered in restitution. We affirm. Publication in the official reports is not recommended.
