The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Marva Horne, Appellant

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division's order ordering restitution to the Department of Social Services, holding that the restitution was lawful despite the defendant's acquittals on related charges, that the statutory cap does not bar the amount awarded, that Apprendi v. New Jersey does not apply to restitution, and that the defendant's absence at a post‑verdict hearing did not invalidate the proceeding.
