State v. Perry

The Supreme Court vacated in part Defendant's sentence, holding that because the district court did not have the benefit of the procedures outlined in State v. Albright, __ N.W.2d __ (Iowa 2019), when it entered its order regarding restitution, the part of the sentencing order regarding restitution must be vacated and the case remanded to the district court to impose restitution consistent with Albright.Defendant pled guilty to driving while her license was barred. On appeal, Defendant argued that the district court erred in ordering her to pay restitution for attorney fees and correctional costs without determining the amounts of those obligations or her ability to pay court costs. The Supreme Court vacated the part of the sentencing order regarding restitution, holding that remand was necessary for reconsideration in light of Albright. View "State v. Perry" on Justia Law
