Restitution
By: Derek Hawkins//August 17, 2016//
Listen to this articleWI Court of Appeals – District IV
Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Terry C. Craig, Jr.
Case No.: 2016AP1777-CR
Officials: BLANCHARD, J.
Focus: Restitution
Terry C. Craig Jr. appeals a judgment entered by the circuit court following his convictions for criminal damage to property, disorderly conduct, and obstructing a police officer. Specifically, Craig challenges the amount of restitution ordered by the court, arguing that there was preexisting damage to the vehicle that Craig later damaged and that the court should order Craig to pay restitution only for the particular damage that he “directly” caused. I conclude that the circuit court did not erroneously exercise its discretion in ordering restitution equal to the value of the damaged vehicle under the facts here. The court reasonably interpreted the pertinent facts and applied one approach to restitution contemplated in WIS. STAT. § 973.20(2). Accordingly, I affirm.
