State. v. K. Holmes

Summary

The Montana Supreme Court affirmed the district court’s finding that Holmes was liable for the loss of the victims’ social‑security cards, but reversed the portion of the restitution order that required Holmes to pay for long‑term LifeLock identity‑theft protection and remanded for a revised judgment. The Court held that the causal nexus for the missing cards was supported by the record, while the LifeLock costs were too attenuated to qualify as restitution under Montana law.
