People v. Reed

(Court opinion corrected 2/25/16.) Defendant was convicted, after bench trial, of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver and sentenced to 9 years. Considering Defendant's written jury waiver, his colloquy with trial court, and his demonstrated familiarity with justice system, court did not err in finding that Defendant knowingly waived his right to jury trial. Court System fee of $50 is actually a fine.  State's Attorney's Records Automation Fee of $2 is legally a fee.  Public Defender Records Automation Fee is legally a fee. (MASON and FITZGERALD SMITH, concurring.)
