Thomas Jones v. Commonwealth, 2012-CA-001827 [NOT TO BE PUBLISHED]
Thomas Jones
pled guilty to sexual contact with a then fifteen year old girl. A result
of this contact was that the girl contracted herpes. The trial court,
when ordering restitution, attempted to “hold open” the restitution order, and
allow the girl to petition the court for additional restitution if her
circumstances changed. The Kentucky Court of Appeals held that this
violated KRS 532.033 because it was not a “set and definite amount.”
John
Landon represented Mr. Jones on Appeal; Margot Merrill preserved
this issue in the trial court.
