Mass. court to decide repayment for comedian Cook

[December 10, 2010]  WOBURN, Mass. (AP) -- A Massachusetts court has scheduled a hearing Friday to consider how much comedian Dane Cook's sister-in-law will have to pay the entertainer under a $12 million restitution order.

Cook's half brother Darryl McCauley and McCauley's wife, Erika, were ordered to pay restitution after pleading guilty to stealing millions of dollars from Cook. The Wilmington couple were accused of embezzling when Darryl McCauley was working as Cook's business manager. Both husband and wife received prison sentences.

A spokesman for Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley said the hearing in Middlesex Superior Court in Woburn may determine what Erika McCauley will have to pay.
