In re Nathaniel M.
Following a contested jurisdictional hearing, Nathaniel M., a minor, was found to have committed battery with serious bodily injury on his grandfather. The minor was declared a ward of the court and ordered to pay restitution in an amount to be determined. On January 26, 2006, after a contested restitution hearing, the court ordered the minor to pay restitution of $33,452.35, the amount of the grandfathers medical expenses. On appeal, the minor contends the court abused its discretion when it failed to find, as was within its power, compelling and extraordinary reasons that the minor should not have to pay such a large amount of restitution. Court reject the contention.
