Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Fines and Fees
Defendant was convicted and sentenced to concurrent terms of 35 years for attempted first degree murder, 15 years for home invasion, and 6 years for armed robbery, and ordered to pay $200 DNA analysis fee. That fee is not punitive, but is to cover costs incurred in collecting and testing DNA sample, and thus is a fee and not a fine. Thus, Defendant could not apply his presentencing credit to satisfy his $200 DNA fee. (HOLDRIDGE, specially concurring; WRIGHT, dissenting.)
