State of Tennessee v. Laura June Mays

The Defendant-Appellant, Laura Mays, was convicted by a Hardeman County jury of theft of property between $10,000 and $60,000, a Class C felony. She received a three-year sentence, but was subsequently placed on probation. Her probation was revoked by the trial court because of her failure to make restitution payments. In her first appeal, this court reversed the trial court’s revocation of her probation and directed the trial court to set a reasonable amount for restitution payments. On remand, the trial court again revoked Mays’ probation. Mays now appeals the revocation of her probation, claiming the trial court did not follow this court’s mandate from her first appeal. Upon review, we again reverse the judgment of the trial court, and remand this matter for a determination of Mays’ ability to pay restitution.
