Lee's grown a beard & appears chunkier since his trial. Perhaps he's not moving 'cause he's scared *****less

Judge J. David Mazurek has sentenced Lee to life in prison without the possibility of parole. A restitution hearing has been set for Feb. 10

 

[moonbeams]

What is a restitution hearing?

 

[Dmacky]

What is a restitution hearing?

Not really sure except it has to do with money?

 

[moonbeams]

I guess if they come up with an amount, the money will come from any books or movie rights? It's not like he's making any money in prison except for what little they get for making license plates!?

The term "restitution" in the criminal justice system means payment by an offender to the victim for the harm caused by the offender's wrongful acts. Courts have the authority to order convicted offenders to pay restitution to victims as part of their sentences. In approximately one-third of states, courts are required to order restitution to victims in cases involving certain types of crimes, typically violent felony offenses, but sometimes other serious offenses as well. Restitution can cover any out-of-pocket losses directly relating to the crime, including:

• medical expenses
• therapy costs
• prescription charges
• counseling costs
• lost wages
• expenses related to participating in the criminal justice process (such as travel costs, child care expenses, etc.)
• lost or damaged property
• insurance deductibles
• crime-scene clean up, or any other expense that resulted directly from the crime

Restitution will not cover such things as pain and suffering or emotional distress, only damages that are easy to prove-things for which a victim might have a bill or a receipt.

Will Lore have to travel back for that, too?

Will Lore have to travel back for that, too?

She probably will, I hope not though. It's gotta be very expensive coming all the way from Tn.

I remember from Jodi arias trial she has to pay the alexander's money from working at the prison...

Erin Corwin's mother was interviewed in Tennessee ~

“The detectives were protective of me,” she said of her days in the courtroom. “They would make sure I got to my car.”

That statement begged the question about interaction between Heavilin and Lee’s family inside and outside the courtroom. She said there was never any real communication between them.
She did say that after Lee’s mother testified she “looked me straight in the eye and said, ‘My son did not do this.’”

That statement was made before Lee’s confession and Heavilin said she understood Lee’s mother. She said she would also stand by her children no matter what.

She also expressed sympathy toward Lee’s parents, who went heavily into debt to provide their son with a private attorney.
“He (Lee) lied to them (his parents) right up until he confessed,” she said.

Thank you Truth for sharing what you experienced at trial, and more importantly the details about Erin.

Following Tuesday's testimonials, San Bernardino County Superior Court Judge J. David Mazurek said he learned a lot about Corwin during the trial and he empathized with family members.

"I'm sorry I can't give you true justice in this case, which is returning Erin to you," he said. "I'm sorry I can't return that vibrant person to you."

So no family or friends showed up for Christopher Lee?

So no family or friends showed up for Christopher Lee?

I read his family exhausted all their financial resources to get him a private attorney. Then at the 11th hour he admits guilt? I' m wondering if they are upset with him. Not because he killed Erin, but he left them ruined financially.
