M.M.S. v. State
M.M.S. v. State
Opinion of the Court
M.M.S. appeals an order requiring him to pay restitution in the amount of $2500. The State concedes, and we agree, that the trial court improperly relied on hearsay evidence in determining the value of a stolen ring, and therefore, a new restitution hearing is necessary.
At the restitution hearing, the victim testified that the stolen ring had been a gift from her mother-in-law.
Accordingly, we affirm M.M.S.’s adjudication and disposition but reverse the restitution order and remand for a new restitution hearing.
. The victim's mother-in-law is deceased.
