WI Court of Appeals – District IV

Case Name: State of Wisconsin v. Brandon L. Ritter

Case No.: 2019AP381-CR

Officials: Blanchard, Graham and Nashold, JJ.

Focus: Court Error – Restitution

Brandon Ritter appeals a judgment of conviction requiring him to pay $31,089.93 in restitution. Ritter argues that the circuit court erred by deferring the determination of his ability to pay. Ritter also argues that the circuit court failed to make a necessary finding that justice required the restitution. We reject these arguments and affirm.
