State v. Plante

The Supreme Judicial Court dismissed the appeal brought by Appellant challenging his sentence requiring him to pay $7,500 in restitution based on his involvement in damaging rental property from which he was evicted. The appeal was dismissed because Appellant did not properly assert that there was any illegality apparent on the record. Rather, Appellant challenged only the factual and discretionary determinations of the lower court. Because these are decisions that the Supreme Judicial Court does not review in a direct appeal of a sentence, the Court dismissed Appellant's appeal. View "State v. Plante" on Justia Law
