Williamson v. State
Williamson v. State
Opinion of the Court
James Williamson appeals the judgment and sentence imposed following his guilty plea to attempted sexual battery
Williamson also argues that it was error to impose restitution for the victim’s parents’ or guardian’s counseling expenses. The state properly concedes error. See Gluesenkamp v. State, 636 So.2d 1367, 1368 (Fla. 1st DCA 1994) (“Family members do not fall within the statutory definition of ‘victim’ unless the aggrieved party is deceased as a result of the offense.”); Ocasio v. State, 586 So.2d 1177 (Fla. 4th DCA 1991) (holding that mother of child victim was not entitled to recover restitution for her own personal psychological injuries, vicariously suffered as result of child’s experience, because mother was not “victim” within meaning of statute providing for restitution as child was not deceased). Accordingly, we direct the trial court to delete that portion of the special condition of
REVERSED IN PART; AFFIRMED IN PART; REMANDED.
. §§ 777.04, 794.011(2), 794.011(1), Fla. Stat. (1995).
. § 800.04(3), Fla. Stat. (1995).
