Eighth Circuit -- United States v. Frank Michael Frazier

Remand for determination of which restitution to charity that assisted arson victims is redundant with restitution directly to victims.


Error in ordering restitution to insurer for replacement value of structure, as insurance company was not a victim.  Better measure is replacement value to owners, offset by relevant transactions with renting arsonist.
