View this case - free  

Overview: A restitution amount was not excessive under Iowa Code § 910.1(4) (2005) because it bore a reasonable relationship to the damage caused by defendant's criminal act of stealing an automobile from a dealership; the dealership was required to reveal to potential buyers that the car had been stolen, and that made the car worth less than it was before.

View this case - free  

Overview: Trial court erred in ordering the sentences on each count of delivery of a controlled substance (marijuana) in violation of Iowa Code § 124.401(1)(d) to run consecutively, because although the court expressed its reasons for incarcerating rather than placing defendant on probation, it failed to state its reasons for imposing consecutive sentences.
