No. 17CA0678, People v. Knapp — Criminal Law — Sentencing
— Restitution

     Applying the reasoning in Cowen v. People, 2018 CO 96, a

division of the court of appeals holds that where a defendant is

charged with one level of offense but is convicted of only a lower-

level offense, an award of restitution for the offense is limited to the

amount consistent with the jury verdict.

     In this case, the prosecution charged Mr. Knapp with criminal

mischief as a class 6 felony, but the jury found, through its

interrogatories, that he committed only a class 1 misdemeanor.

Mr. Knapp was also convicted of other several other offenses.

     Consistent with Cowen, the division holds that the trial court’s

award of restitution for the criminal mischief charge was limited by

the jury’s answer on its interrogatory. The division holds, however,
that the trial court could impose restitution for property and

nonproperty losses attributable to other offenses for which

Mr. Knapp was convicted.

     The division also considers and rejects four other arguments

raised by Mr. Knapp: (1) that the trial court erred by instructing the

jury on the provocation exception to self-defense; (2) that the trial

court abused its discretion by admitting evidence that the victim’s

brother called him a “wife beater”; (3) that the prosecutor

improperly questioned him about his post-arrest silence and

improperly argued that he had tailored his testimony to the

evidence; and (4) that the trial court plainly erred by calculating

restitution using the replacement value of several items of property

without the necessary foundation.

¶1    Defendant, Joshua Knapp, raises several challenges to his

 convictions and order of restitution, one of which presents an issue

 of first impression: whether the rationale in Cowen v. People, 2018

 CO 96, which precludes a trial court from imposing restitution for

 acquitted conduct, applies when a jury convicts a defendant of a

 lesser-level offense than that charged. We conclude that it does.

 Accordingly, although we affirm Mr. Knapp’s convictions, we reverse

 the restitution order and remand the case to the trial court with

 directions.

                           I.   Background

¶2    A multi-day argument between Mr. Knapp and the victim,

 A.J., turned violent and culminated with the filing of multiple

 domestic violence charges against Mr. Knapp. At the time,

 Mr. Knapp and A.J. had been dating on and off for about six years.

 During a break in the relationship, A.J. had dated another man.

 According to A.J., Mr. Knapp was “constantly obsessed” about her

 relationship with her ex-boyfriend.

¶3    The argument started on a weekend camping trip to Utah. On

 Friday evening, A.J. spoke with her sister and brother-in-law on the

 phone. During the call, Mr. Knapp overheard A.J.’s brother-in-law


                                   1
 refer to him as a “wife beater.”1 Mr. Knapp became upset, both at

 A.J.’s brother-in-law for making the comment and at A.J. for not

 defending him to her brother-in-law. He remained agitated about

 the incident throughout the weekend, even as they returned to

 A.J.’s house.

¶4    According to A.J., that Sunday, Mr. Knapp remained upset

 and continued “obsessing” about her ex-boyfriend and her brother-

 in-law. Eventually, he left the house. Later that evening, in a

 series of texts to A.J., he expressed frustration that she didn’t “stick

 up for the one [she] love[s]” and asked “why would you want to be

 with me any way fucking woman beater.” He also texted, “If you

 won’t stand up for me I’m gonna stand up for myself” and included

 the brother-in-law’s contact information.

¶5    When A.J. woke up the next morning, she discovered

 Mr. Knapp had come back and slept at the house. She took her

 children to school and returned to find him awake and still agitated,




 1 The evidence differed as to whether A.J.’s brother-in-law used the
 term “woman beater” or “wife beater.” We use “wife beater” because
 that’s the terminology the parties used in obtaining a ruling from
 the trial court on the admissibility of the evidence.

                                    2
 so she left again. While she was out, Mr. Knapp began tracking her

 location with the “Find My Phone” application on his phone and

 texting her about her whereabouts. Believing she was lying about

 where she was, and was actually with her ex-boyfriend, he sent

 back angry texts calling her derogatory names, warning her that he

 was watching her (e.g., “I fucking watch you bitch” and “I watched

 you drive by his work”), and telling her that he was waiting for her

 at the house. The messages scared her, and she decided to pick

 her children up from school rather than have them arrive at the

 house with Mr. Knapp there.

¶6    The events that occurred next were hotly disputed at trial.

 A.J. testified as follows. As she was driving toward the school, she

 saw Mr. Knapp’s truck rapidly approach and bump the back of her

 truck. She could see from his face that he was “super mad.” She

 continued driving and, after she passed a sheriff’s deputy,

 Mr. Knapp turned and drove away.

¶7    A.J. got her children and went to a friend’s house. Mr. Knapp

 continued barraging her with text messages throughout the

 afternoon, including referencing her friend’s name, noting her

 location when she and her friend went to the store, alternating


                                   3
  between telling her he loved her and hated her, and suggesting he

  was destroying items at her home. One of his texts also seemed to

  refer to her brother-in-law’s comment, stating, “Will just make all

  the shit talking true.”

¶8     That evening, believing from his texts that Mr. Knapp had left

  the house, A.J. headed home with her children. She took an

  alternative driving route to avoid running into Mr. Knapp. But, as

  she neared the house, she saw him driving toward her. He stopped,

  got out of his truck, punched in her driver’s side window, leaned

  inside, punched her, and bit through her lip. He warned her she

  “better get [her] ass home.” Then he jumped into her truck, took

  her and her daughter’s phones, and returned to his truck.

¶9     A.J. started driving forward but stopped and got out because

  glass from the broken window was cutting into her back. When she

  did so, Mr. Knapp stopped his truck and ran back toward her. He

  grabbed her, threw her against the truck, hit her again, and told

  her she “better get back home.”

¶ 10   A.J. got back in her truck and drove toward her house. Not

  seeing Mr. Knapp, she drove past the house and headed to the

  highway to get away. But as soon as she got on the highway,


                                    4
  Mr. Knapp sped past her. He blocked both lanes in front of her,

  and she stopped. He then jumped up on the hood of the truck,

  screamed, banged on the hood, pulled on the windshield wiper, and

  told A.J. to return home. This time he followed her closely.

¶ 11   When they got to the house, Mr. Knapp continued to assault

  A.J., including hitting her with the butt of a gun. At one point, he

  shot off a gun in the house, hitting A.J.’s mattress. Eventually, he

  fell asleep. A.J. got her children, left the house, and went to

  another friend’s house, where they called the authorities.

¶ 12   A.J.’s thirteen-year-old daughter testified at trial, and her

  version of events largely tracked A.J.’s.

¶ 13   Mr. Knapp, however, gave a vastly different version of events.

  His version was as follows. When he believed A.J. was with her ex-

  boyfriend, he started fighting with her by text and packing his

  belongings to move out of her house. He didn’t leave the house at

  any point during the day, but stayed there packing and sleeping.

¶ 14   He finally left at dusk and, as he was driving away from the

  house, he saw A.J. driving toward him. They both stopped. He got

  out and approached her door to talk to her, but her window was up.

  He started walking around the front of her truck to get in from the


                                     5
  passenger side, at which point she drove into him, forcing him up

  onto the hood of the truck. He initially held onto the windshield

  wiper, but when she turned onto the highway, he couldn’t hold on

  and was flung off the truck onto the pavement.

¶ 15   Mr. Knapp headed back to his truck, but A.J. turned her truck

  around and rejoined him. As she approached, he went to open the

  driver’s side door of her truck to “ask her what the heck she was

  doing.” He also wanted to get her keys so she wouldn’t hurt him

  again or hurt her children. When he grabbed at the door handle

  and the window (which was at that point halfway down), the

  window shattered. He reached through the broken window to try to

  get the keys, but A.J. hit him in the back and head. So he stopped,

  and only then did he realize A.J.’s nose was bleeding. He went back

  to his truck, and she drove off in the direction of the house. After a

  moment, he drove to the house to check on her and the children.

¶ 16   Back at the house, Mr. Knapp resumed gathering his things to

  leave, but A.J. begged him to stay. They talked for a while, and he

  eventually fell asleep. He later awoke when law enforcement

  officers came to the house. He spoke briefly with the officers, but

  once they arrested him, he invoked his right to remain silent.


                                    6
¶ 17   The jury convicted Mr. Knapp of some, but not all, of the

  charged offenses. The convictions included second degree assault,

  menacing, illegal discharge of a firearm, criminal mischief, third

  degree assault, reckless endangerment, prohibited use of a weapon,

  and harassment. The jury found Mr. Knapp had committed most of

  these offenses (all but the illegal discharge of a firearm and

  prohibited use of a weapon counts) as acts of domestic violence.

  The trial court sentenced Mr. Knapp to a term of seven years in the

  custody of the Department of Corrections and ordered him to pay

  $13,070.40 in restitution.

                               II.   Discussion

¶ 18   Mr. Knapp raises four arguments on appeal: (1) the trial court

  erred by instructing the jury on the provocation exception to self-

  defense; (2) the trial court abused its discretion by admitting

  evidence that A.J.’s brother-in-law called him a “wife beater”; (3) the

  prosecutor improperly questioned him about his post-arrest silence

  and improperly argued at closing that he had tailored his testimony

  to the evidence; and (4) the trial court erred in its findings on

  restitution. We disagree with the first two arguments, agree in part




                                       7
  with the third but find no plain error, and agree in part with the

  fourth.

                      A.    Provocation Instruction

¶ 19   Mr. Knapp contends that the trial court erred by instructing

  the jury on the provocation exception to self-defense.2 We disagree.

¶ 20   A trial court has a duty to instruct the jury correctly on all

  matters of law for which there is sufficient evidence to support

  giving instructions. Castillo v. People, 2018 CO 62, ¶ 34. However,

  a court shouldn’t instruct a jury “on abstract principles of law

  unrelated to the issues in controversy, nor . . . on doctrines or

  principles which are based upon fanciful interpretations of the facts

  unsupported by the record.” Id. (quoting People v. Alexander, 663

  P.2d 1024, 1032 (Colo. 1983)).

¶ 21   We review de novo the question of whether there was sufficient

  evidence to support a requested instruction. Id. at ¶ 32. In doing




  2 This issue pertains only to the second degree assault charge, as
  that was the only charge for which the jury was given instructions
  on, and asked to apply, the affirmative defense of self-defense and
  the provocation exception to self-defense.

                                     8
  so, we view the evidence in the light most favorable to giving the

  instruction. Id. at ¶¶ 52-53; People v. Rios, 2014 COA 90, ¶ 42.

¶ 22   The right to self-defense isn’t limitless. For instance, under

  the plain language of the self-defense statute, a defendant’s right to

  claim self-defense is lost if he or she acted with an intent to provoke

  the victim into attacking first to provide the defendant with the

  excuse to injure or kill the victim. People v. Silva, 987 P.2d 909,

  914 (Colo. App. 1999); see also § 18-1-704(3)(a), C.R.S. 2019. This

  provocation exception to self-defense applies in situations where the

  defendant wasn’t the initial aggressor. Silva, 987 P.2d at 914. To

  be entitled to a provocation instruction, the prosecution bears the

  burden of establishing that the defendant intended to harm the

  victim and “to goad the victim into attacking him or her as a pretext

  for injuring or killing the victim.” Id.

¶ 23   A provocation instruction should be given if (1) self-defense is

  an issue in the case; (2) the victim made an initial attack on the

  defendant; and (3) the defendant’s conduct or words were intended

  to cause the victim to make the attack and provide a pretext for

  injuring the victim. Rios, ¶ 47; Silva, 987 P.2d at 914.




                                      9
¶ 24   Mr. Knapp challenges only the third element — that is,

  whether there was sufficient evidence to establish that his conduct

  or words were intended to cause A.J. to attack him and provide a

  pretext for injuring her.

¶ 25   As the parties note, there is some uncertainty about what

  quantum of proof is required to give an instruction on an exception

  to an affirmative defense like self-defense. See, e.g., Castillo, ¶ 37

  n.4; People v. Galvan, 2019 COA 68, ¶ 21 (cert. granted Jan. 13,

  2020). Yet, even applying the more stringent sufficiency of the

  evidence standard, we conclude that there is sufficient evidence

  from which a rational jury could find provocation beyond a

  reasonable doubt. See Castillo, ¶ 37 n.4 (citing but not deciding

  whether to apply the sufficiency of the evidence standard used in

  Texas).

¶ 26   According to Mr. Knapp’s own testimony, A.J.’s initial “attack”

  on him (in which she allegedly ran her truck into him) occurred just

  after he approached A.J.’s car window, attempted to talk to her, and

  started walking around her truck to get in on the passenger’s side.

  And her second “attack” (in which she allegedly hit him in the back

  and head) occurred just after he again approached her truck,


                                     10
  grabbed at her door handle and window to get in, shattered the

  window, and reached inside to take her keys from her. These

  events happened only after Mr. Knapp spent hours barraging A.J.

  with angry texts in which he called her derogatory names, asked

  about her whereabouts, revealed that he was tracking her location,

  and suggested he was damaging things at her house. And,

  according to A.J., they happened after an encounter earlier that day

  in which he raced up to her truck, tapped her bumper, and left only

  after they passed a sheriff’s deputy.

¶ 27   We are satisfied that the altercation at A.J.’s truck and the

  events leading up to it were all part of a single, continuous episode.

  See Marquez v. People, 2013 CO 58, ¶¶ 9, 16 (defining an “incident,”

  for purposes of applying the legislative requirements for sentencing

  crimes of violence, as “a single, rather than more than one,

  happening or unit of experience,” considering such factors as time,

  place, circumstances, and schematic wholeness); Castillo, ¶ 48

  (finding Marquez’s definition “instructive” in determining whether

  events were part of a single episode for purposes of giving an

  instruction on the initial aggressor exception to self-defense).




                                    11
¶ 28   But, even considering only the encounter at A.J.’s truck, there

  was sufficient evidence to support the instruction. Mr. Knapp’s

  testimony regarding that encounter was itself sufficient to support a

  finding that he intended to provoke A.J. into attacking him as a

  pretext for injuring her. And, of course, the jury was “entitled to

  accept parts of [his] testimony and reject other parts,” Gordon v.

  Benson, 925 P.2d 775, 778 (Colo. 1996), particularly given that A.J.

  and her daughter gave a completely different account of the

  encounter from his. If the jury believed even some of what A.J. and

  her daughter said (which it apparently did, given the convictions on

  several other counts), it could’ve found that Mr. Knapp intentionally

  provoked any attack by A.J. that may have led him to act in self-

  defense. Thus, there was ample basis to support a finding of

  provocation.

¶ 29   Therefore, we conclude that the trial court didn’t err in

  instructing the jury on the provocation exception to self-defense.

                      B.    “Wife Beater” Comment

¶ 30   Mr. Knapp contends that the trial court abused its discretion

  by admitting evidence that A.J.’s brother-in-law called him a “wife

  beater.” We disagree.


                                    12
¶ 31   We review the trial court’s evidentiary rulings for an abuse of

  discretion. People v. Brown, 2014 COA 155M-2, ¶ 5. A trial court

  abuses its discretion when it misconstrues or misapplies the law, or

  when its decision is manifestly arbitrary, unreasonable, or unfair.

  People v. Sosa, 2019 COA 182, ¶ 10.

¶ 32   The trial court allowed the prosecutor to introduce A.J.’s

  brother-in-law’s comment referring to Mr. Knapp as a “wife beater”

  as res gestae evidence to provide context and explain Mr. Knapp’s

  motive for his actions. As to motive, the prosecutor argued that

  Mr. Knapp acted both out of anger that A.J. failed to stand up for

  him after her brother-in-law made this comment and out of jealousy

  that A.J. might have gone to see her ex-boyfriend.

¶ 33   Res gestae evidence is “generally linked in time and

  circumstances with the charged crime, forms an integral and

  natural part of an account of a crime, or is necessary to complete

  the story of the crime for the jury.” People v. Miranda, 2014 COA

  102, ¶ 47 (quoting People v. Greenlee, 200 P.3d 363, 368 (Colo.

  2009)). Such evidence provides a jury “a full and complete

  understanding of the events surrounding the crime and the context

  in which the charged crime occurred,” such as showing the


                                   13
  defendant’s motive and intent. Id. at ¶¶ 47-48 (citation omitted).

  To be admissible, res gestae evidence must be relevant, and its

  relevance must not be outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice.

  People v. Thomeczek, 284 P.3d 110, 114 (Colo. App. 2011).

¶ 34   Mr. Knapp doesn’t argue that the “wife beater” comment was

  improperly regarded as res gestae evidence. Instead, he claims the

  trial court abused its discretion by overruling his hearsay and CRE

  403 objections to the evidence. We are not persuaded.

                              1.     Hearsay

¶ 35   As to hearsay, we conclude that the trial court acted within its

  discretion in overruling Mr. Knapp’s objection. In doing so, we

  agree with the trial court that the comment was not hearsay, as it

  was offered not to prove the truth of the matter asserted but,

  rather, to show its effect on the listener.

¶ 36   Hearsay is a statement, other than one made by a declarant

  while testifying at a trial or hearing, offered in evidence to prove the

  truth of the matter asserted. CRE 801(c). “If an out-of-court

  statement is not offered for its truth, it is admissible as nonhearsay

  evidence as long as it is relevant.” People v. Van Meter, 2018 COA

  13, ¶ 64. More specifically, an out of court statement offered solely


                                     14
  to show its effect on the listener is not hearsay. People v. Robinson,

  226 P.3d 1145, 1151 (Colo. App. 2009).

¶ 37   Here, the prosecutor offered evidence concerning the “wife

  beater” comment, not to establish that Mr. Knapp was a wife beater,

  but to show the comment’s effect on Mr. Knapp. The statement’s

  relevance was in how it enraged Mr. Knapp and led him to commit

  the criminal acts charged in this case.

¶ 38   Indeed, A.J.’s brother-in-law, who reportedly made the

  comment, didn’t even testify at trial. Nor did any witness refer to

  any specific acts of domestic violence Mr. Knapp had allegedly

  committed in the past. Most of the references to the “wife beater”

  comment came from A.J.’s testimony about how Mr. Knapp reacted

  after hearing the comment and how he continued referring to it over

  the course of the weekend, Mr. Knapp’s testimony about how he felt

  when he heard the comment, and Mr. Knapp’s texts to A.J. referring

  to the comment and expressing dismay that A.J. hadn’t defended

  him when her brother-in-law made it.

¶ 39   Nonetheless, Mr. Knapp argues that the prosecutor

  impermissibly relied on the comment for its truth at two points

  during the trial: in cross-examining him, when the prosecutor


                                    15
  asked why Mr. Knapp believed the comment referred to him and

  why A.J.’s brother-in-law would call him a wife beater; and in

  closing argument, when he asserted that Mr. Knapp “fulfilled the

  prophecy he was upset about earlier in the week” by committing the

  charged acts of domestic violence. But these references didn’t

  directly imply that the comment was true at the time it was made.

  Rather, the reference in cross-examination delved into why

  Mr. Knapp reacted to the comment the way he did, and the

  reference in closing suggested Mr. Knapp had committed domestic

  violence after (not before) the comment was made.

                            2.     CRE 403

¶ 40   As to CRE 403, we conclude that the trial court acted within

  its discretion by ruling that the probative value of the comment

  wasn’t substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice.

¶ 41   CRE 403 strongly favors the admission of evidence. People v.

  Dominguez, 2019 COA 78, ¶ 29. But even relevant evidence may be

  excluded where it is unfairly prejudicial. Id. To be excluded, the

  danger of unfair prejudice must substantially outweigh the

  legitimate probative value of the evidence. Id.




                                    16
¶ 42   In reviewing the evidence on appeal, we “must afford [it] the

  maximum probative value attributable by a reasonable fact finder

  and the minimum unfair prejudice to be reasonably expected.” Id.

  at ¶ 30 (quoting People v. Gibbens, 905 P.2d 604, 607 (Colo. 1995)).

  Evidence isn’t unfairly prejudicial simply because it damages the

  defendant’s case. Id. Instead, to be unfairly prejudicial, it “must

  have an ‘undue tendency to suggest a decision on an improper

  basis, commonly but not necessarily an emotional one, such as

  sympathy, hatred, contempt, retribution, or horror.’” Id. (quoting

  People v. Dist. Court, 785 P.2d 141, 147 (Colo. 1990)).

¶ 43   Here, the trial court acted within its discretion in concluding

  that the danger of unfair prejudice didn’t substantially outweigh the

  comment’s probative value. We agree with the trial court that any

  prejudicial impact of the comment was diminished by “the serious

  nature of the accusations” made at trial, including the specific

  allegations of assault A.J. and her daughter detailed in their

  testimony. The comment was also general in nature, limiting its

  potential prejudicial impact.

¶ 44   In contrast, the comment was highly relevant as res gestae

  evidence to provide context for Mr. Knapp’s mood throughout the


                                    17
  weekend and to establish a possible motive for his criminal

  conduct. Mr. Knapp heard the comment a few days before he

  committed the offenses and, by his own admission, remained upset

  about the comment — and A.J.’s failure to defend him from it —

  through the date of the offenses. And, even if Mr. Knapp’s jealousy

  toward A.J.’s ex-boyfriend offered an additional potential motive,

  evidence about his reactions to the “wife beater” comment still

  provided necessary context and helped the jury have a full and

  complete understanding of the events leading up to the crimes. See

  Miranda, ¶ 47.

¶ 45   Accordingly, we conclude that the trial court didn’t abuse its

  discretion by admitting evidence of the “wife beater” comment.

                     C.   Prosecutorial Misconduct

¶ 46   Mr. Knapp contends that the prosecutor committed

  misconduct by (1) eliciting testimony about his post-arrest silence

  and (2) arguing at closing that he tailored his testimony to the

  evidence presented at trial. We disagree as to the first argument.

  As to the second, we agree the argument was improper but find the

  prosecutor’s misconduct didn’t constitute plain error.




                                    18
¶ 47   We engage in a two-step analysis to review claims of

  prosecutorial misconduct. People v. Robinson, 2019 CO 102, ¶ 18.

  First, we determine whether the prosecutor’s conduct was improper

  based on the totality of the circumstances. Id. Second, if we

  conclude the conduct was improper, we determine whether it

  warrants reversal according to the applicable standard of review.

  Id. Here, because Mr. Knapp’s attorney didn’t raise his objections

  at trial, the plain error standard applies. See id. at ¶ 19. Plain

  error addresses error that was obvious and substantial and so

  undermined the fundamental fairness of the trial itself as to cast

  serious doubt on the reliability of the judgment of conviction. Id.

  In the context of plain error review of prosecutorial misconduct, we

  will reverse only when the misconduct was “flagrantly, glaringly, or

  tremendously improper.” Domingo-Gomez v. People, 125 P.3d 1043,

  1053 (Colo. 2005) (quoting People v. Avila, 944 P.2d 673, 676 (Colo.

  App. 1997)). Prosecutorial misconduct rarely constitutes plain

  error. Van Meter, ¶ 26.

                        1.    Post-Arrest Silence

¶ 48   Mr. Knapp first complains about the prosecutor’s questions on

  cross-examination inquiring about his statements to law


                                    19
enforcement on the night he was arrested. The colloquy about

which he complains went as follows:

          Q    Okay. And is that when Police were
               there?

          A    Yes, sir.

          Q    All right. And that’s when you told them
               that you and [A.J.] had a fight that night,
               right?

          A    Yes.

          Q    Okay. And you said, though, that it was
               only verbal, right?

          A    Yes, sir.

          Q    Okay. But that wasn’t exactly true, was
               it?

          A    No, sir.

          Q    Okay. And -- now, you could have told
               Police at that moment that [A.J.] hit you
               with the car, right?

          A    Yes, sir.

          Q    But you didn’t?

          A    Correct.

          Q    Okay. And you didn’t seek medical
               attention for this injury on your head you
               testified about?

          A    I did not.



                                 20
             Q    Okay. And you could have told Police
                  about how concerned you were that the
                  kids were in the car with [A.J.] that day,
                  right?

             A    Yes, sir.

             Q    Okay. But you didn’t?

             A    Correct.

             Q    Okay. Instead, you told them that you
                  had a verbal argument, right?

             A    Correct.

¶ 49   Mr. Knapp contends that this questioning improperly inquired

  into his post-arrest silence. We are not persuaded.

¶ 50   A prosecutor can neither present evidence of nor comment on

  a defendant’s post-arrest silence. People v. Coleman, 2018 COA 67,

  ¶ 34. This is because a prosecutorial comment that has the effect

  of creating an inference of guilt by referring to the defendant’s

  silence “effectively penalizes the defendant for exercising [the]

  constitutional privilege” against being compelled to act as a witness

  against himself or herself. Id. (quoting People v. Ortega, 198 Colo.

  179, 182, 597 P.2d 1034, 1036 (1979)).

¶ 51   But not every reference to a defendant’s post-arrest silence

  warrants reversal. People v. Davis, 312 P.3d 193, 198 (Colo. App.



                                     21
  2010), aff’d on other grounds, 2013 CO 57. For instance, as

  relevant here, “[a] testifying defendant may . . . be cross-examined

  on his partial silence where he makes a statement to law

  enforcement officials but the statement omits significant details

  which are later included in a subsequent statement.” Id. at 199.

  As prior divisions of our court have put it: “A defendant cannot have

  it both ways. If he talks, what he says or omits is to be judged on

  its merits or demerits.” Id. (quoting People v. Rogers, 68 P.3d 486,

  492 (Colo. App. 2002)). In such a situation, the omission of key

  details is akin to a prior inconsistent statement, and inquiring

  about those details is permissible because it doesn’t seek to have

  jurors infer guilt from silence but, rather, seeks to respond to

  statements made by the defendant. Id.; accord People v. Quintana,

  665 P.2d 605, 610 n.7 (Colo. 1983).

¶ 52   Here, the prosecutor’s questioning focused primarily on

  Mr. Knapp’s statements to law enforcement authorities (before he

  was arrested and invoked his right to remain silent) that he and

  A.J. had had a fight that was “only verbal,” as contrasted with his

  testimony at trial that A.J. had hit him with her car. The questions

  didn’t suggest that Mr. Knapp’s post-arrest silence should be


                                    22
  construed as evidence of guilt. Instead, they attempted to impeach

  Mr. Knapp’s trial testimony by pointing to his prior inconsistent

  statement that the fight had been only verbal. Therefore, the

  questions were proper.

¶ 53   People v. Reynolds, 194 Colo. 543, 575 P.2d 1286 (1978), on

  which Mr. Knapp primarily relies, is distinguishable. In that case,

  as in this one, the defendant talked briefly with law enforcement

  officers before invoking his right to remain silent. Id. at 550, 575

  P.2d at 1292. But there, unlike here, the defendant made only a

  few vague statements to officers about the incident and later was

  asked why he didn’t provide the additional details to which he

  testified at trial. Id. The critical difference in this case is that

  Mr. Knapp provided specific information to officers — saying the

  altercation was strictly verbal — that was inconsistent with his later

  statements at trial. Thus, the questioning didn’t inquire so much

  into his post-arrest silence as into his prior inconsistent statement.

                              2.     Tailoring

¶ 54   Mr. Knapp also complains about the prosecutor’s statements

  in closing argument, which he claims impermissibly argued that he

  tailored his testimony to the evidence.


                                      23
¶ 55   In closing, the prosecutor argued, among other things, that

  the evidence didn’t support Mr. Knapp’s claim of self-defense and

  that his testimony about the events wasn’t credible. The prosecutor

  then made the following comment, to which defense counsel didn’t

  object, but which Mr. Knapp now challenges on appeal:

            There is not evidence supporting the
            defendant’s claim. The defendant got to sit
            and listen to the evidence, and then testify,
            based upon the evidence heard in court.

  The prosecutor went on to argue that A.J. and her daughter had

  given a credible recounting of the events and that the evidence

  didn’t support Mr. Knapp’s theory of self-defense.

¶ 56   A prosecutor’s closing argument should be based on the

  evidence in the record and all reasonable inferences to be drawn

  from it. Martinez v. People, 244 P.3d 135, 140 (Colo. 2010). Thus,

  a prosecutor may draw reasonable inferences from the evidence

  about the credibility of witnesses. Id. at 141. But a prosecutor may

  not make arguments about a defendant’s opportunity to tailor

  evidence simply because the defendant exercises his or her right of

  confrontation and has a duty to be present at trial. Id.




                                   24
¶ 57   Whether a prosecutor’s tailoring argument runs afoul of these

  principles depends on whether it is generic or specific. Generic

  tailoring — which is improper — occurs when the prosecutor

  attacks the defendant’s credibility by “simply drawing the jury’s

  attention to the defendant’s presence at trial and his resultant

  opportunity to tailor his testimony,” without “referenc[ing] any

  instances in the record where the defendant actually engaged in

  tailoring.” Id. By contrast, specific tailoring — which is proper —

  occurs when the prosecutor ties a tailoring argument to an

  evidentiary basis in the record. Id. For instance, our supreme

  court has explained that a reference to “facts in the record

  indicating that a defendant has tailored ‘specific elements of his

  testimony to fit with particular testimony given by other witnesses’”

  is specific tailoring and therefore permissible. Id. (citation omitted).

¶ 58   Here, the People claim the prosecutor’s comment in closing

  that Mr. Knapp “got to sit and listen to the evidence, and then

  testify, based upon the evidence heard in court” was neither a

  generic nor a specific tailoring argument because the prosecutor

  argued, both before and after the comment, that Mr. Knapp’s

  testimony was not credible or consistent with the evidence. In other


                                     25
  words, the People claim the prosecutor’s point was that Mr. Knapp

  had had the opportunity to tailor his testimony but nonetheless

  hadn’t done so. Thus, they contend, the argument wasn’t really

  tailoring at all and was permissible.

¶ 59   The People don’t cite any authority supporting this novel

  argument, and we haven’t found any. And the prosecutor’s

  tailoring comment was generic, as neither the comment itself nor

  the arguments that immediately preceded and followed it were tied

  to any specific testimony at trial. Instead, the comment “attack[ed]

  [Mr. Knapp’s] credibility by simply drawing the jury’s attention to

  [his] presence at trial and his resultant opportunity to tailor his

  testimony.” Id. Therefore, it was improper.

¶ 60   However, we don’t believe the prosecutor’s tailoring comment

  rose to the level of plain error. Rather, we conclude that, even

  assuming the error in allowing the comment was obvious, it wasn’t

  substantial and didn’t so undermine the fundamental fairness of

  the trial as to cast serious doubt on the reliability of Mr. Knapp’s

  conviction. See Robinson, ¶ 18.

¶ 61   We reach this conclusion for several reasons. First, the

  prosecutor made only one brief reference to tailoring in the course


                                    26
  of a lengthy closing argument. See People v. Villa, 240 P.3d 343,

  358 (Colo. App. 2009). Second, as the People note, the prosecutor

  didn’t directly argue that Mr. Knapp had in fact tailored his

  testimony. Rather, the implication was that he’d had the

  opportunity to do so but hadn’t. This softened the impact and

  rendered the argument less potentially harmful. Third, defense

  counsel’s lack of an objection “may demonstrate [a] belief that the

  live argument, despite its appearance in a cold record, was not

  overly damaging.” Domingo-Gomez, 125 P.3d at 1054 (citation

  omitted). And fourth, the court provided the jury with a proper

  credibility instruction, which we must assume the jury followed.

  See Villa, 240 P.3d at 358.

¶ 62   As a result, we cannot say that the prosecutor’s tailoring

  argument was “flagrantly, glaringly, or tremendously improper,”

  Domingo-Gomez, 125 P.3d at 1053 (quoting Avila, 944 P.2d at 676),

  and “so undermine[d] the fundamental fairness of the trial itself as

  to cast serious doubt on the reliability of the jury’s verdict,” id.

  Therefore, we find no plain error.




                                       27
                             D.    Restitution

¶ 63   Mr. Knapp raises two primary arguments in challenging the

  trial court’s restitution order. First, he argues that the court

  imposed a greater amount of restitution than that authorized by the

  jury’s verdict. Second, he argues that the court erroneously

  calculated restitution using the replacement value of several items

  of property without the necessary foundation. We agree with him

  on the first issue and remand to the trial court with instructions,

  but we find no plain error as to the second issue.

¶ 64   The prosecution’s criminal mischief charge against Mr. Knapp

  alleged that he knowingly damaged A.J.’s real or personal property

  in violation of section 18-4-501(1), C.R.S. 2019. The prosecution

  charged criminal mischief as a class 6 felony, alleging that

  Mr. Knapp caused $1000 or more but less than $5000 in damages

  to A.J.’s property. § 18-4-501(4)(d). A.J. testified at trial that

  Mr. Knapp caused more than $13,000 in damage to her truck, her

  camper, and various items at her house. Although the jury found

  Mr. Knapp guilty of the offense of criminal mischief, it found, in a

  series of interrogatories corresponding to the different levels of

  offense, that the aggregate damage Mr. Knapp caused to A.J.’s


                                     28
  property was $750 or more but less than $1000. The court

  therefore entered a conviction for a class 1 misdemeanor.

¶ 65   After trial, the prosecution filed a motion seeking $13,070.40

  in restitution for two types of pecuniary losses: (1) $11,155.54 for

  property Mr. Knapp damaged or destroyed and (2) $1914.86 for

  other losses resulting from Mr. Knapp’s conduct, including lost

  wages and school books.3 A.J. had testified about the same items

  of damage at trial, though she gave slightly smaller damage

  estimates for some of the items during the restitution proceedings.

  Defense counsel objected on the basis that the request exceeded the

  amount supported by the jury’s interrogatory on criminal mischief.

¶ 66   Following an evidentiary hearing, the trial court ordered

  restitution in the full $13,070.40 requested, though it noted that

  some of that amount was directly payable to A.J. and some was

  payable to her landlords.




  3 A.J. sought reimbursement for books she’d purchased for a
  semester of school she could no longer attend due to her injuries
  from the assault. Initially, she also requested tuition
  reimbursement, but she withdrew that request when she obtained a
  refund on the tuition.

                                    29
                        1.    Acquitted Conduct

¶ 67   Mr. Knapp contends that the trial court erred by awarding

  restitution in an amount exceeding that supported by the jury’s

  interrogatory on the criminal mischief count. We agree in part.

¶ 68   We review a trial court’s restitution order for an abuse of

  discretion. Sosa, ¶ 10. A court abuses its discretion when it

  misconstrues or misapplies the law, or when its decision is

  manifestly arbitrary, unreasonable, or unfair. Id.

¶ 69   We review questions of statutory construction de novo. Id. at

  ¶ 11. We likewise review questions of law de novo, and whether a

  trial court has authority to impose restitution for losses suffered as

  a result of acquitted conduct is a question of law. Cowen, ¶ 11;

  Sosa, ¶ 11.

¶ 70   Our primary purpose in interpreting a statute is “to ascertain

  and give effect to the General Assembly’s intent.” Cowen, ¶ 12

  (citation omitted). We first examine the plain meaning of the

  statutory language, construing terms according to their statutory

  definitions or plain and ordinary meanings. Id. at ¶¶ 12, 14. If the

  language is clear and unambiguous, we give effect to its plain

  meaning without looking any further. Id. at ¶ 12. In applying the


                                    30
  plain meaning, we give consistent effect to all parts of the statute,

  construe each provision in harmony with the overall statutory

  design, and give effect to all legislative acts if possible. Id. at ¶ 13.

¶ 71   Restitution in criminal cases is part of a trial court’s

  sentencing function. Roberts v. People, 130 P.3d 1005, 1006 (Colo.

  2006); see also § 18-1.3-603, C.R.S. 2019. Section 18-1.3-603(1)

  provides that “[e]very order of conviction of a felony, misdemeanor,

  petty, or traffic misdemeanor offense . . . shall include consideration

  of restitution.” The statute defines restitution as “any pecuniary

  loss suffered by a victim . . . [that is] proximately caused by an

  offender’s conduct and that can be reasonably calculated and

  recompensed in money.” § 18-1.3-602(3)(a), C.R.S. 2019. “We

  liberally construe the restitution statute to accomplish its goal of

  making victims whole for the harms suffered as the result of a

  defendant’s criminal conduct.” Sosa, ¶ 14 (quoting People v. Rivera,

  250 P.3d 1272, 1274 (Colo. App. 2010)).

¶ 72   However, a sentence that exceeds the court’s statutory

  authority is illegal. Roberts, 130 P.3d at 1006. Our supreme court

  recently made clear that “Colorado’s restitution statutes do not

  allow a trial court to impose restitution for pecuniary losses caused


                                      31
  by conduct that formed the basis of a charge of which the defendant

  has been acquitted[,] [e]ven where . . . the defendant has been

  convicted of a separate charge.” Cowen, ¶ 2; accord id. at ¶ 24. In

  other words, “when an individual is acquitted of one charge and

  convicted of another, the conduct underlying the acquitted charge

  cannot serve as the basis of a restitution order.” Id. at ¶ 23.

¶ 73   The court in Cowen largely based its ruling on a close reading

  of the restitution statutes, concluding that “the legislature’s choice

  of wording reflects its intent to exclude from the restitution

  umbrella any losses caused by acquitted conduct.” Id. at ¶ 22; see

  also id. at ¶ 19 (“The legislature clearly meant to limit restitution

  liability to individuals found guilty of causing injury or property loss

  that resulted in suffering or hardship to victims harmed by their

  misconduct.”); id. at ¶ 21 (“[T]he legislature did not intend to

  empower trial courts to order someone acquitted of a charge to pay

  restitution for losses caused by the conduct underlying that

  charge.”).

¶ 74   The Cowen court also stated that a contrary holding would

  raise constitutional concerns in the wake of the United States

  Supreme Court’s decision in Nelson v. Colorado, 581 U.S. ___, 137


                                     32
  S. Ct. 1249, 1252, 1255-56 (2017), which held that, when a

  criminal conviction is overturned or vacated and there is no retrial

  or a retrial results in an acquittal, the state must refund all

  restitution imposed on the defendant as a result of the conviction.

  See Cowen, ¶¶ 34-37. As the Cowen court noted, “the Court [in

  Nelson] reminded us that, ‘[a]bsent conviction of a crime, one is

  presumed innocent’ . . . [and] explained that . . . ‘Colorado may not

  presume a person, adjudged guilty of no crime, nonetheless guilty

  enough for monetary exactions.’” Id. at ¶ 35 (quoting Nelson, 581

  U.S. at ___, ___, 137 S. Ct. at 1252, 1256).

¶ 75   Recognizing that this presumption of innocence applies to

  each crime charged, the Cowen court expressed that, “[i]f the jury

  acquits a defendant of a particular charge, the defendant retains

  the presumption of innocence with respect to that charge regardless

  of whether he is found guilty of a different charge.” Id. at ¶ 38. “To

  hold otherwise,” the court explained, “would be tantamount to

  declaring that when the jury finds a defendant guilty of one charge

  and not guilty of another, the trial court may nevertheless consider

  the defendant guilty of the acquitted charge by a less demanding




                                     33
  standard of proof” — a result the court found “would be nonsensical

  even in the context of restitution.” Id.

¶ 76   The Cowen court applied this rule to hold that the defendant

  in that case, who was charged with two counts of fraud by check

  based on two separate checks and was convicted of one count but

  acquitted of the other, couldn’t be ordered to pay restitution in the

  total amount of both checks. Id. at ¶¶ 5-6, 39-42. The court held

  that, because the jury had acquitted the defendant of the fraud

  charge relating to the second check, the trial court lacked authority

  to order the defendant to pay restitution for any pecuniary losses

  suffered as a result of that check. Id. at ¶¶ 39-42.

¶ 77   The procedural posture of this case is different than that of

  Cowen, but we conclude that the same reasoning applies. The

  prosecution charged Mr. Knapp with criminal mischief as a class 6

  felony (based on damage of at least $1000 but less than $5000), but

  the jury found, through its interrogatories, that he committed only

  a class 1 misdemeanor (based on damage of at least $750 but less

  than $1000). We agree with Mr. Knapp that the jury’s guilty verdict

  on misdemeanor criminal mischief should be viewed as an implied




                                    34
  (if not express) acquittal of the felony criminal mischief count

  charged by the prosecution.

¶ 78   Ordinarily, a defendant is impliedly acquitted of a greater

  offense when he or she is charged with greater and lesser offenses

  and the jury finds him or her guilty of only the lesser offense. See,

  e.g., § 18-1-301(1)(a), C.R.S. 2019; People v. Cardenas, 25 P.3d

  1258, 1261 (Colo. App. 2000). Technically speaking, the value of

  the property damaged operates as a sentence enhancer rather than

  an element of the offense of criminal mischief and, thus, these were

  not in fact greater and lesser included offenses. But, because the

  sentence enhancer had to be pleaded, proved, and found beyond a

  reasonable doubt by a jury, it makes sense to apply the same

  construct. See People v. Jamison, 220 P.3d 992, 995 (Colo. App.

  2009) (acknowledging that theft of property valued between $100

  and $500 technically wasn’t a lesser included offense of theft of

  property valued between $500 and $15,000, but treating it as such

  for purposes of entering judgment for the lesser offense supported

  by the evidence); see also People v. Hopkins, 2013 COA 74, ¶¶ 22-

  23 (recognizing that any finding that increases the maximum




                                    35
  penalty for a crime must be proved to a jury, regardless of whether

  that fact is an element or a sentence enhancer).

¶ 79   In this case, through its interrogatories, the jury plainly found

  that Mr. Knapp was not guilty of the greater offense but was guilty

  of the lesser one. Thus, Mr. Knapp was essentially acquitted of

  class 6 felony criminal mischief, even as he was convicted of class 1

  misdemeanor criminal mischief. Under the reasoning in Cowen,

  then, he retains a presumption of innocence with respect to any

  actions of (or damages for) criminal mischief beyond the amount

  equating to a class 1 misdemeanor offense — that is, $999.99.

¶ 80   Accordingly, just as the trial court in Cowen lacked authority

  to order restitution for the second check after the jury found the

  defendant hadn’t committed fraud as to that check, so did the trial

  court here lack authority to order restitution for additional property

  damage based on the criminal mischief count after the jury found

  Mr. Knapp hadn’t committed criminal mischief as to any more than

  $999.99 in property damage.

¶ 81   We therefore hold that, where a defendant is charged with one

  level of offense but is convicted of only a lower-level offense, an

  award of restitution for that offense is limited to the amount


                                     36
  consistent with the jury verdict. Thus, here, where Mr. Knapp was

  charged with criminal mischief as a class 6 felony but was

  convicted for this offense only as a class 1 misdemeanor, restitution

  for the offense is limited to the maximum amount of $999.99 set

  out for a class 1 misdemeanor. To the extent that prior divisions of

  this court reached different conclusions under similar facts, we

  believe their holdings are no longer valid after the supreme court’s

  decision in Cowen. Indeed, part of the reasoning in those decisions

  was that trial courts could consider acquitted conduct in

  determining the amount of restitution, see, e.g., People v. Stotz,

  2016 COA 16, ¶¶ 89-91; People v. Pagan, 165 P.3d 724, 730-31

  (Colo. App. 2006), and Cowen expressly held that that is not the

  case.4

¶ 82   The People point to other cases where divisions of this court

  allowed restitution awards to exceed the amount of a jury verdict for

  a different reason: the pecuniary losses were calculated differently



  4 Some of these decisions added that trial courts could consider
  uncharged conduct as well in determining the amount of
  restitution. A division of this court recently held that this also is no
  longer proper after Cowen. See People v. Sosa, 2019 COA 182,
  ¶¶ 24-28.

                                     37
  for purposes of restitution than for purposes of proving an element

  of an offense. See, e.g., People v. Smith, 181 P.3d 324, 327 (Colo.

  App. 2007). But, in this case, the People don’t explain how any

  minor variations in the calculation of damages for restitution

  purposes — for instance, in counting repair costs that exceed the

  value of an object or using replacement value as opposed to fair

  market value — could account for the significant difference between

  the amount of restitution the trial court awarded and the amount

  supported by the jury’s verdict. In fact, it appears from the record

  that such variations don’t account for any of this difference, for two

  reasons. First, the property damage calculations A.J. presented

  during the restitution proceedings were nearly identical to those she

  had presented at trial, just slightly lower (not higher). And second,

  the jury instructions didn’t constrain what the jury could consider

  in calculating the amount of property damage Mr. Knapp had

  caused. Thus, any difference in the way restitution may be

  calculated doesn’t justify increasing the amount of restitution above

  the amount supported by the jury’s verdict.

¶ 83   We hold, however, that the restitution may be supported by

  property and nonproperty losses attributable to other offenses for


                                    38
which Mr. Knapp was convicted. For instance, the trial court

appropriately awarded restitution for lost wages ($1800) and

unneeded school books ($114.86), which are attributable to

Mr. Knapp’s assault on A.J., causing her to miss work and drop out

of school for the semester.5 Likewise, the court appropriately

awarded restitution for the cost to replace a mattress and bedding

($3834.98), which is attributable to Mr. Knapp’s illegal discharge of

a firearm, putting two holes in the mattress, and to his assault,

causing blood to stain the bedding. The same is true of the cost to

replace carpet ($1300) stained by blood as a result of Mr. Knapp’s

assault. Because it’s not entirely clear from the record what




5 Even if these losses hadn’t been attributable to a different offense,
they still would’ve been recoverable. The jury’s verdict on criminal
mischief pertained only to damages to real and personal property.
See § 18-4-501, C.R.S. 2019. But the restitution statute more
broadly allows for recovery of “any pecuniary loss,” including,
among other things, “out-of-pocket expenses” and “other losses or
injuries [that are] proximately caused by an offender’s conduct and
that can be reasonably calculated and recompensed in money.”
§ 18-1.3-602(3)(a), C.R.S. 2019. Accordingly, while the jury’s
verdict precluded the trial court from awarding restitution based on
the criminal mischief count for real and personal property damage
in an amount greater than $999.99, it didn’t affect the trial court’s
ability to award restitution for other types of pecuniary losses.

                                  39
  additional items, if any, may properly be attributed to other

  offenses, we remand for the trial court to make that determination.

¶ 84   We recognize that some of these items, like the damage to the

  mattress and bedding, could be perceived as attributable to the

  criminal mischief count as well as the other counts — and thus,

  conceivably, the amount of restitution for these items could be

  limited by the jury’s verdict on criminal mischief. But Mr. Knapp

  doesn’t maintain a presumption of innocence as to those actions

  and damages, since he was found guilty of the other offenses to

  which they relate and since, even in the absence of a guilty verdict

  on criminal mischief, the value of those items would’ve been

  recoverable in restitution. We are also mindful of the fact that the

  restitution statute must be liberally construed “to accomplish its

  goal of making victims whole for the harms suffered as the result of

  a defendant’s criminal conduct.” Sosa, ¶ 14 (quoting Rivera, 250

  P.3d at 1274).

¶ 85   Thus, the maximum amount of restitution the trial court could

  lawfully order was $8049.83 ($999.99 plus the amount of the items

  listed above) plus the amount of any additional items the trial court




                                   40
  determines on remand are properly attributable to offenses other

  than (or in addition to) criminal mischief.

¶ 86   Finally, we reject Mr. Knapp’s argument that any award of

  restitution in an amount greater than $999.99 (the amount in the

  jury’s interrogatories) violates Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466

  (2000), and Blakely v. Washington, 542 U.S. 296 (2004). We agree

  with the division of this court that previously concluded that

  Apprendi and Blakely — which hold that any fact, other than the

  fact of a prior conviction, that increases the penalty for an offense

  beyond the prescribed statutory maximum must be admitted by the

  defendant or proved to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt — don’t

  apply to restitution orders. See Smith, 181 P.3d at 327. We also

  note that nothing in the supreme court’s decision in Cowen calls

  that conclusion into question and that, following Southern Union Co.

  v. United States, 567 U.S. 343 (2012), federal courts have

  consistently continued to recognize that Apprendi doesn’t apply to

  restitution, see, e.g., United States v. Sawyer, 825 F.3d 287, 297

  (6th Cir. 2016); United States v. Thunderhawk, 799 F.3d 1203, 1209

  (8th Cir. 2015); United States v. Bengis, 783 F.3d 407, 413 (2d Cir.




                                    41
  2015); United States v. Rosbottom, 763 F.3d 408, 420 (5th Cir.

  2014); United States v. Day, 700 F.3d 713, 732 (4th Cir. 2012).

¶ 87   Accordingly, we reverse the restitution order and remand to

  the trial court to modify the amount of restitution to $8049.83 plus

  the amount of any additional items the trial court determines on

  remand are properly attributable to offenses other than (or in

  addition to) criminal mischief.6

                        2.    Replacement Value

¶ 88   Mr. Knapp also contends that the trial court erroneously

  calculated restitution using the replacement value of several items

  of property without the necessary foundation.

¶ 89   Section 18-1.3-602(3)(a) defines restitution to include “any

  pecuniary loss suffered by a victim,” including but not limited to “all

  out-of-pocket expenses, . . . anticipated future expenses, . . . and

  other losses or injuries proximately caused by an offender’s conduct

  and that can be reasonably calculated and recompensed in money.”

  Accordingly, “the value of property for purposes of restitution is




  6 We also leave it to the trial court to determine how to allocate the
  restitution as between A.J. and her landlords.

                                     42
  determined by the victim’s ‘actual, pecuniary loss’ or the amount of

  money that will ‘fulfill[ ] the statutory purpose of simply making the

  victim whole to the extent practicable.’” People v. Stafford, 93 P.3d

  572, 575 (Colo. App. 2004) (quoting People v. Courtney, 868 P.2d

  1126, 1128 (Colo. App. 1993)).

¶ 90   Recognizing that victims are entitled to be placed in the same

  financial condition they would’ve been in had the crime not been

  committed, prior divisions of this court have recognized that a court

  can award restitution of a “reasonable replacement value” — rather

  than being limited to recovery of fair market value — when the

  victim demonstrates that he or she will need to replace an item that

  isn’t readily replaceable at a fair market value cost. Stafford, 93

  P.3d at 575-76; accord People v. Henson, 2013 COA 36, ¶ 24.

¶ 91   Mr. Knapp argues that A.J.’s restitution calculations for

  several items were based on replacement value, rather than fair

  market value, and that the trial court adopted those calculations

  and awarded those amounts notwithstanding the lack of any

  evidence demonstrating that A.J. needed to replace the items and




                                    43
  couldn’t readily do so at a fair market value cost. Because defense

  counsel didn’t raise this issue below, our review is for plain error.7

¶ 92   Mr. Knapp challenges only those portions of the restitution

  award for which the calculations were based on replacement value.

  These include the restitution awarded for the replacement of two

  cell phones, a towel rack, a mattress and bedding, carpet, a home

  phone, a computer and printer, a refrigerator, a microwave, a

  dishwasher, other kitchen items, and a wind chime.

¶ 93   Mr. Knapp cites only two cases in urging that the trial court

  plainly erred by awarding the replacement value of these items

  without evidence demonstrating that they weren’t readily

  replaceable at fair market value cost. But in those two cases,

  divisions of this court held merely that “the award of a reasonable

  replacement value is appropriate when the victim demonstrates that

  he or she must or will replace an item that is not readily replaceable

  at a fair market value cost.” Stafford, 93 P.3d at 575-76; see also




  7 Mr. Knapp claims that, despite the lack of any objection, the trial
  court ruled on this issue by saying it wasn’t limited to a fair market
  valuation determination and just had to make sure the value was
  reasonable to make the victim whole. We disagree.

                                    44
  Henson, ¶ 24 (quoting the same language from Stafford). The

  divisions didn’t hold that evidence that an item is not readily

  replaceable at fair market value cost is always a necessary predicate

  to recovery of reasonable replacement value. Critically, in both

  cases, the objections had apparently been preserved in the trial

  court and the divisions approved the use of replacement value.

  Henson, ¶¶ 22-27; Stafford, 93 P.3d at 576.

¶ 94   Here, where defense counsel made no objection to the use of

  replacement value and where it was fair to assume (in the absence

  of evidence or argument indicating otherwise) that there wasn’t a

  broad and active used market for items like a mattress, bedding,

  carpet, and kitchen appliances, we conclude that it wasn’t plain

  error for the court to award restitution based on replacement value.

  And even for the items as to which there might be a used market,

  like the cell phone, computer, and printer, we cannot conclude that

  the trial court’s decision to award replacement value rose to the

  level of plain error. See Stafford, 93 P.3d at 576 (“[T]he trial court

  reasonably assumed that there was not a broad and active market

  for used computers comparable to those stolen, particularly

  considering today’s constantly evolving technological


                                     45
  marketplace.”); see also United States v. Shugart, 176 F.3d 1373,

  1375 (11th Cir. 1999) (recognizing, under the federal restitution

  statute, that replacement cost may be a better measure of value

  when “an item is unique” or “there is not a broad and active market

  for it”), cited with approval in Stafford, 93 P.3d at 576.

¶ 95   Therefore, we discern no plain error in the trial court’s use of

  replacement value in calculating the amount of restitution.

                             III.   Conclusion

¶ 96   We affirm Mr. Knapp’s convictions. However, we reverse the

  restitution order and remand to the trial court to (1) determine what

  items of restitution, if any, are properly attributable to offenses

  other than (or in addition to) criminal mischief, in addition to the

  lost wages, school books, mattress and bedding, and carpet

  addressed in this opinion, and (2) modify the amount of restitution

  to $8049.83 plus the amount of any such items.

       JUDGE J. JONES and JUDGE WELLING concur.
