The opinion

MACK, Associate Judge,

concurring:

I join fully in the majority opinion. I write separately only to state that the answer to the question the court reserves in footnote one seems clear to me. Neither a statute nor “inherent judicial powers” can be invoked to impose a penal sanction, such as restitution, on a defendant who is not convicted of the offense underlying the proposed imposition of the sanction.
