B.H. v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided January 11, 2008 · Canady, Casanueva, Fulmer
971 So. 2d 288; 2008 Fla. App. LEXIS 256 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

B.H. v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

B.H. appeals the trial court’s restitution order requiring her to satisfy two obligations totaling in excess of $125,000. B.H. asserts that the trial court committed two errors. First, the trial court failed to comply with section 985.437(2), Florida Statutes (2006), by not determining a restitution amount that the child could reasonably be expected to pay. Second, the trial court improperly relied on hearsay evidence in ordering the amount of restitution. The State concedes error. We agree.

Accordingly, we reverse and remand for a new evidentiary hearing.

Reversed.

FULMER, CASANUEVA, and CANADY, JJ., Concur.
