Public Defender Reimburesment Fee
Defendant was originally sentenced to 24 months probation with 180 days imprisonment. In a supplemental sentencing order the court erred by adding a $200 public-defender-reimbursement fee. Defendant was not given notice nor the opportunity to be heard and present evidence regarding his foreseeable ability to pay. The fee is vacated outright, and the case may not be remanded to the lower court to determine if the fee was appropriate. (KNECHT and STEIGMANN, concurring.)
