Description
The defendant, James F. Lewis, entered a guilty plea to assault, a Class A misdemeanor, on July 25, 1990. The trial court imposed a sentence of 11 months and 29 days, 90 days of which were to be served in the workhouse. All of the sentence was suspended, conditioned upon the defendant performing 20 days of community service and making restitution for "hospital bills as incurred by [the] victim." The judgment specified neither the amount nor the manner of payment of the restitution. Some ten weeks after the plea agreement, the state filed a petition to revoke the suspended sentence because the defendant had completed only eight days of public work and had "failed to pay restitution as directed." Thereafter, the parties agreed to several continuances of the revocation proceeding. On November 11, 1993, three years after the filing of the petition, the trial court heard evidence and interpreted the original judgment to require the defendant to pay not only the victims "hospital bills" but also the medical expenses which, by then, all totalled $20,121.25. The trial court ordered the defendant to pay $2,100.00 of that amount within 30 days. The balance was ordered to be paid in the sum of $100.00 per month, without interest, beginning January 10, 1994, until the full amount was paid, or, as we calculate, for a period of over fifteen years.
