People v. Breeden

Court sentenced Defendant to 58 months imprisonment for failure to register as a sex offender. Sentence within court's discretion, considering Defendant's criminal history and his failure to attend court-ordered sex offender risk assessment. Circuit clerk improperly assed 3 fines ($10 "Arrestee's Medical" fine, a $10 "St Police Services" fine, and a $5 "Drug Court Program" fine). The challenged fine is voidable rather than void, and State lacked authority to request increase in amount of fine imposed. Clerks have no authority to impose fines, even mandatory fines. Remanded with directions to impose mandatory fines and apply any credit to which Defendant is entitled. (KNECHT and APPLETON, concurring.)
