Tawk Hre v. State of Indiana
No. 26A-CR-1089
Appeal from the Marion Superior Court, Judge Jose D. Salinas. Hre crashed his vehicle into another person’s car and damaged it. The court reversed a trial court restitution order requiring Hre to pay for the rental car expenses of the victim. The appeals court agreed with the appellant that the trial court abused its discretion in ordering him to pay restitution. The appeals court concluded that such expenses do not fall within the five statutory categories in the restitution statue, aligning the case with precedent where similar expenses were deemed outside the statute’s purview. The case has been remanded with instructions for the trial court to enter a corrected restitution order. Judge Pyle authored the opinion, with Judges Mathias and Weissmann concurring. Appellant’s attorneys: Talisha R. Griffin, Timothy J. Burns, Marion County Public Defender Agency, Indianapolis. Appellee’s attorneys: Office of the Indiana Attorney General.
