CHEBOYGAN (AP) — The Michigan Supreme Court says crime victims in certain cases can be reimbursed for travel expenses.
The Supreme Court says the costs fit a Michigan law that directs judges to order “full restitution.” The court overturned a decision by the state appeals court.
Justices Stephen Markman and Bridget McCormack disagreed with the majority last Thursday. They say the law has 1,006 additional words, and they find no specific authority allowing judges to hit criminals up for travel expenses.
