State v. T. Peterson

Summary

The Court affirmed a restitution order requiring Peterson, jointly and severally with her co-defendant, to pay $21,050 for a replacement dog-wash machine. It held that the restitution statute permits the full replacement cost of damaged property rather than limiting recovery to repair costs or market value, and that substantial evidence supported the replacement amount and the victim's mitigation efforts. The Court also held that Peterson failed to establish that the restitution order was unjust because of her ability to pay.
