People v. Moore
990 N.E.2d 1264
Ill. App. Ct.
2013
Read the full case

Background

  • Defendant Jarmarco Moore pled guilty to two counts of burglary and received probation.
  • Probation was revoked, and the circuit court sentenced him to four years in prison.
  • At resentencing the court stated bond should apply first to restitution but left the restitution portion blank.
  • Original restitution was $517 to Azura Boutique and $2,700 to Brom’s Furs, later reduced to $517 to Azura.
  • The State sought to apply bond first to restitution; Moore appeals challenging the restitution and bond ordering.

Issues

Issue Plaintiff's Argument Defendant's Argument Held
Whether a new restitution order existed after probation revocation Moore’s revocation required a new order; the original restarted. The court intended a new restitution order by discussing it at sentencing and the State’s request. Yes; the current order effectively creates restitution.
Whether Brom’s Furs restitution was legally unsupported Brom’s Furs restitution was part of the plea agreement. No valid agreement to pay Brom’s Furs restitution. Reduced Brom’s Furs restitution to $517 to Azura Boutique.
Whether bond may be applied to restitution before costs Bond allocation to restitution was permissible under the court’s discretion. Statute requires bond be applied to costs first. Void to apply bond to restitution before costs; bond must first pay court costs/fines.
