Criminal Court
Fees
This case presents question as to whether Appellate Court properly remanded case back to trial court for new appointed-counsel fee hearing to determine defendant's ability to pay such fee, where any hearing would occur more than 90 days after entry of original final order disposing of his case in trial court. In his petition for leave to appeal, defendant argued that trial court's initial imposition of appointed-counsel fee should simply be vacated under Gutierrez, 2012IL 11590, without any remand since 90-day requirement for conducting such hearing under section 113-3.1 is mandatory.
