People v. Smith

Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of aggravated criminal sexual assault, attempt, and home invasion. Court summarily dismissed his pro se postconviction petition. Judgment vacated in part and remanded for the trial court, and not the circuit clerk, to impose mandatory fines. Late fees and collection fees vacated, as many fines were not judicially imposed, and as several assessments were imposed improperly on multiple counts. Sex-offender fine can be properly imposed on each count in a defendant's case, where a defendant is found guilty of and sentenced for multiple sex offenses in a single case. (KNECHT and HARRIS, concurring.)
