Cases | Rosero v. State, 668 So. 2d 1114 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1996) | 2018

The defendant appealed a civil restitution lien granted to the defendant’s victim. The court of appeals held: 1) “that the amounts listed in section 960.293 represent reasonable estimates of the losses incurred by crime victims . . . and therefore imposition of a lien for the listed amount was not error;” and 2) “as the imposition of a civil restitution lien under section 960.29 et seq. is a civil, not criminal, action, the protections provided by the double jeopardy clause are not available” to the defendant. The amended order was affirmed.
