People v. Grayer

Defendant was convicted, after bench trial, of possession of less than 15 grams of cocaine. Defendant was improperly assessed $30 for Children's Advocacy Center, as this violated prohibition against ex post facto laws; statutory provision authorizing the fee was not in effect at the time of the offense. Defendant was ordered to give a DNA sample and pay the $200 analysis fee after having given a DNA sample and being assessed the analysis fee in another case. No significant inconvenience or injustice in State collecting a new DNA sample whenever a defendant is convicted of a felony or other qualifying offense, given reasonable bases of having fresh samples, and the ability to subject new samples to new methods of collection, analysis, and categorization as a result of developments in research and technique. (HOFFMAN and THEIS, concurring.)
