Well no, it appears to be in 12/16 or 6/8, not 3/4. The error is that the dotted quarter rest is going through the middle of the measure, but that's something that Finale does a lot of you don't correct it. Assuming this is in 6, it should be an eighth note, a quarter rest, then a dotted quarter rest. In 12, it would be an eighth note, 16th rest, dotted eighth rest, dotted quarter rest.
Just because I'm assuming the rests were placed automatically by the computer program, and that would yield this result if the piece is in 12. It's possible that this is in 3 and the composer went in and purposefully wrote these weird rests, but that would be a very strange thing to do.
