REDWOOD CITY, Calif. —
A judge has ordered a teenager
convicted in a bomb attack on a Northern California high school to
pay the school district $122,000 in restitution.
San Mateo County Judge Stephen Hall ruled on Wednesday that
19-year-old Alexander Youshock was responsible for teacher and
staff salaries and maintenance costs resulting from the Aug. 24,
2009 attack on Hillsdale High School.
The school was closed for two days.
The San Mateo Daily Journal reports that
Youshock's attorney had said his client should not be made to pay
$98,000 in teacher and staff salaries for those days since the
employees were still paid by the district.
Youshock was ordered committed to a state mental hospital in May
after pleading no contest to an attempted murder charge and six
bomb charges.
