GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – A decision has been delayed in the George Burch restitution hearing.
Burch, who was convicted of killing Nicole VanderHeyden in 2016, is being asked by her boyfriend, Douglass Detrie, to pay more than $254,820 in restitution.
Detrie claims the amount he’s asking for would help cover the cost of his therapy, lost wages, and other miscellaneous expenses.
Court Commissioner Paul Burke said Monday that a decision will be made in the next 30 days.
Burch has already been ordered to pay just over $14,000 in restitution. That money is being directed to VanderHeyden’s family and the states crime victim compensation fund.
Burch is currently serving a life sentence.
