(Modified upon denial of rehearing 3/4/14.) Defendant was convicted of aggravated battery. At sentencing, court did not address any financial obligations with sentence, but later signed judgment ordering defendant to pay costs of prosecution. Court systems charge is a fee. Both parties should be allowed to address calculations of fees and costs, and court should enter written order as to amount and nature of each charge. (CARTER and O'BRIEN, concurring.)
