Between July 1, 1996 and March 23, 2000, R.C. 2929.18 (A) limited restitution to `economic loss,' which was defined in terms of `criminally injurious conduct,' which was itself defined as conduct that `imposes a substantial threat of personal injury or death.' *Page 9 Since Ms. Hall's conduct did not impose a threat of personal injury or death, the trial court erred by ordering restitution for her offenses during that period.”
