State v. Turner, 919 P.2d 370 (Kan. Ct. App. 1996)

Cases | State v. Turner, 919 P.2d 370 (Kan. Ct. App. 1996) | 2018

The defendant pled no contest to credit card fraud. While on probation, the defendant was charged with four counts of forgery. He pled guilty to two counts in exchange for dismissal of the remaining two. The trial court revoked the defendant’s probation and ordered restitution on all four forgery charges. On appeal, the defendant claimed that the trial court erred in ordering restitution on the dismissed charges. The appellate court affirmed the order. Kan. Stat. Ann. § 21-4610 does not limit the court’s authority to order restitution for crimes to which a the defendant did not plead. The court had competent evidence on which to issue its restitution order.
