(Modified upon denial of rehearing 10/10/17.) Defendant pled guilty to 2 offenses in exchange for agreed- upon prison term and “all mandatory fines, fees, and court costs.” After Court accepted plea agreement, Defendant filed a motion requesting that Court vacate $6,000 in imposed assessments because of his inability to pay, which was denied. On appeal, Defendant abandoned his claim regarding inability to pay, and contended for the first time that he should receive presentencing detention credit against his fines and that some of his fines and fees were erroneously assessed. Defendant could challenge his presentencing detention for the first time on appeal under section 110-14 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963. Under this section, Defendant was entitled to $975 in credit for 195 days served. Defendant was barred from directly attacking his fines, because he did not challenge them within 30 days of sentencing. (NEVILLE and PIERCE, concurring.)
