Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Scott County, Tamra Roberts, Judge. WRIT SUSTAINED AND REMANDED. Considered by Greer, P.J., Schumacher, J., and Blane, S.J. Opinion by Blane, S.J. (12 pages)
Sara Jo Weisbeck, through writ of certiorari, challenges the district court’s imposition of restitution following her convictions for one count of identity theft and one count of insurance fraud. She argues restitution is not causally related factually or within scope of liability and that evidence does not support the amount of restitution ordered. OPINION HOLDS: Upon our review, we affirm the district court’s finding that an award of restitution was factually related and within the scope of liability, but we reverse and remand for determination of the proper amount of restitution.
