Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Fines and Fees
Defendant pled guilty to failure to register as a sex offender; while on probation for that offense, Defendant was convicted of aggravated battery and domestic battery, for which court imposed DNA analysis fee. Although Defendant had previously submitted DNA sample in 1995, at which time no court had statutory authority to charge any offender a DNA analysis fee. Thus, court had not previously ordered Defendant to pay any DNA analysis fee, and thus court's current order to pay fee was not void.(HOLDRIDGE and O'BRIEN, concurring.)
