So the guy who killed my Dad has stopped paying restitution... and has filed something with the court to remove the order to pay due to "hardship".
The guy makes over $100k a year. Owns 2 houses. He is ordered to pay a min of $500/mo. Has been making like $200 payments and then just stopped. So they garnished his wages, and he filed to have it removed. We (my stepmother and I) are going to court on Oct 3rd. I'm not sure exactly what it's going to be, but I want to be there to witness it and maybe speak a few words.
Even though I haven't seen a penny of it, and probably won't (even though I am entitled to a portion of it... its not worth the fight w my stepmother), I want to see something done. The guy got off with the most minor sentencing possible: 2 weeks Work Furlough, Probation, and ordered to pay back $280k in restitution. He has made probably less than $5k in payments. It's not about the money. It's about the fact that since the incident, he has just considered it an inconvenience. No remorse shown in the courtroom. Nothing.
