Cases | 2004-Ohio-2211(Ohio Ct. App. 2004) | 2018
The defendant pled guilty to attempted burglary and theft following a break-in at a house from which jewelry and other property valued at over $100,000 were stolen. The defendant was ordered to pay restitution of $100,000 for the property taken. The defendant appealed, arguing the order of restitution was improper because the amount not supported by evidence. The appellate court found the pre-sentence investigation report stated the value of the items taken exceeded the amount ordered and the defendant, when asked at the plea hearing, did not dispute the amount. Because the report corroborated the amount determined and the defendant failed to object at the time of sentencing, the order was proper. The order of restitution was affirmed.
