P. v. Grigsby
A prison inmate assaulted a prison guard, causing him to miss work and incur medical and dental expenses. After the inmate pled guilty to the crime, the court ordered him to pay restitution to the prison for the workers compensation benefits the prison paid to the guard. Defendant argues the restitution order was unauthorized because the prison was not a direct victim of the crime. Court order the trial court to modify the restitution order to change the payee to the injured guard.
