Kansas Criminal Cases: February 21, 2020: Restitution

KANSAS COURT OF APPEALS

STATE V. ROBERTS, NO. 120377: RESTITUTION

Held: Where the district court orders restitution but fails to set up a payment plan, the sentence is illegal.

Syllabus:

K.S.A. 2018 Supp. 21-6604(b)(2) refers to a "plan established by the court for payment of restitution." That language does not merely refer to a court's order of an amount of restitution but shows legislative intent that the court establish a payment plan when it orders restitution.
