Restitution was ordered at a hundred and ninety-four thousand dollars. I have received, to date, eleven thousand six hundred dollars of it, in payments of between eighty and four hundred dollars. I expect I will be dead before the rest of it comes, if it comes.
My daughter pled too. Her charges were lesser, and the prosecutor’s office was clear with me about why, and I signed off on it, which I need to own: she cooperated completely, she gave them the whole thing including parts they didn’t have, and two separate people whose job it is to assess these things concluded that she had spent seven years in a situation she did not know how to get out of.
She got twenty-four months. She served fourteen. She’s on supervision now and she lives in a county three counties over and she works second shift at a packaging plant.
