Defendant not entitled to presentencing credit for date of sentencing. Existence of two separate sections in United Code of Corrections indicates legislative intent that a defendant should not receive credit twice for same day, as credit for date of sentencing is allowed as postsentencing credit. Preliminary examination, under Counties Code, is proceeding where factors are considered as to whether to hold a defendant on bail or recognizance; it is not synonymous with probable cause hearing. Children's Advocacy Center charge of $30 is a fine, not a fee, as it has no relevance to Defendant's offense. Medical Costs Assessment can be imposed regardless of whether arrestee incurs medical expenses while in custody.
