In Re Ex Parte Jerome Theodorou. (Jerome Theodorou v. State of Alabama).

Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court affirmed the lower courts’ restitution order, holding that under the state’s Restitution to Victims of Crimes Act the defendant’s receipt of stolen property can be an indirect cause of the victim’s losses, even when some losses occurred before the defendant obtained the property. Justice Lyons, in a concurring‑in‑part/dissent‑in‑part opinion, argued that the majority over‑broadly applied the indirect‑causation standard.
