State v. Sanders, 490 N.W.2d 211 (Neb. 1992)

Cases | State v. Sanders, 490 N.W.2d 211 (Neb. 1992) | 2018

Defendant and a codefendant were arrested in connection with three burglaries involving three tire stores.  As no evidence linked the recovered tires and the third burglarized store, defendant was charged with only two counts of burglary.  Defendant pled guilty and was ordered to pay restitution as a condition of probation.  On appeal, defendant claimed that his guilty plea was involuntary because he was not apprised of the possibility that restitution could be ordered.  The court held that defendant’s contention was without merit because restitution was a condition of probation rather than a criminal penalty.
