Mr. Lincoln Caylor at the Justice and Human Rights Committee

I'll speak to the restitution comments you made at the end.

You have accurately summarized my comments with respect to that issue, with one exception, and maybe I didn't make this clear in my opening comments. There are cases in which restitution is appropriate and victims seek it and are paid back through the criminal process; however, those are rare.

So to the extent that this bill enhances that process, it is a positive thing. That has to be weighed against the complexity of the restitution process, to the extent that it makes the procedure more complex.
