Description
On this appeal, after we conducted a thorough examination of the relevant Virgin Islands statutes, we have concluded - contrary to the District Court of the Virgin Islands, Appellate Division (the "Appellate Division") - that in sentencing a criminal defendant, there is no statutory or decisional bar preventing restitution from being ordered when the defendant must also serve time in prison and is not on probation. Indeed, under 34 V.I.C. § 203(d)(3), it is the obligation of the sentencing court to order restitution providing, of course, that after an inquiry pursuant to the guidelines suggested in this opinion, restitution and the amount thereof is deemed appropriate.
