State v. Wilson

Summary

The court held that probation may continue while court-ordered restitution remains unpaid, allowing the district court to revoke Wilson's probation and impose the underlying prison terms. It also held that interest may be included in restitution when evidence establishes that the interest represents damage or loss caused by the crime, but vacated the interest portion of Wilson's sentence because the district court made no causal or rate-related findings. The court reached both issues despite mootness concerns because the probation issue was capable of repetition and involved matters of public importance, while the restitution obligation remained outstanding.
