People v. Marshall

This case presents question as to whether, as part of defendant's sentence on murder charge, trial court appropriately assessed defendant DNA analysis fee of $200. While defendant argued that instant fee should be vacated since trial court was without authority to order him to submit DNA sample or pay fee where defendant's DNA sample was already on file, Appellate Court found fee was appropriate since defendant had provided new DNA sample, and that legislature's intent was to require payment of fee without consideration as to whether defendant's DNA sample was already on file.
