People v. Harvey

This case presents question as to whether Appellate Court properly found that defendant forfeited any issues regarding whether trial court properly assessed Sheriff’s fees, deoxyribonucleic acid fee and Crime Stopper’s assessment, where defendant failed to raise said issue in trial court. Appellate Court found that plain-error doctrine did not apply so as to permit review of imposition of instant charges, since said charges were fees as opposed to fines. In his petition for leave to appeal, defendant argued that said imposition of fees was erroneous in light of his indigent status, and that Appellate Court could have granted him relief outside of plain-error doctrine as matter of promoting judicial economy.
