Set For SentencingThe Truth About Restitution in Federal Criminal Cases with Ashley Adams, Esq.Restitution is often imposed to compensate crime victims for their losses. Done correctly, it can help victims recover and allow offenders to move on after serving their sentence. However, defense attorneys sometimes overlook restitution issues, resulting in burdensome payment orders. These can extend prison time and hinder reintegration after release, making restitution effectively a lifelong punishment. So, in Episode 106 of Set for Sentencing, we welcome back Ashley Adams, a former united states attorney and incredible white collar criminal defense attorney in Phoenix, AZ. Together, we take a deep dive into the wonderful world of restitution.
