A U.S. District Court judge on Wednesday granted the government's request for $1.4 million in restitution against James Michael Wells, sentenced in July to four consecutive life sentences for killing two co-workers at a U.S. Coast Guard installation on Kodiak Island in April 2012. The prosecutors are asking the court to award the money to the murder victims' estates.
Judge Ralph Beistline called the amount of restitution "conservative" but added that the parties still need to determine where that money will come from.
Wells' wife, Nancy, likely has interest in most of the items the government hopes to obtain and convert into compensation for the victims' families, he said.
