State v. Swann, 197 N.C. App. 221 (May. 19, 2009)
Restitution of $510 was not supported by the evidence. The prosecutor had presented a restitution worksheet stating that the victim sought $510 in restitution. The worksheet was not supported by documentation, the victim did not testify, and the defendant did not stipulate to the amount. The prosecutor’s statement that the amount represented “additional repairs and medical expenses” was insufficient to support the award.
