Criminal fee opinions filing Monday

January 9, 2015

On Monday morning, the Supreme Court will file its opinions in People v. Trujillo and People v. Aguilar.  Both cases were argued on the November calendar and raise similar issues about whether a failure to object to an order for payment of certain fees (in Trujillo, a presentence investigation fee and probation supervision fees; in Aguilar, attorney fees, a criminal justice administration fee, and probation supervision fees) forfeits a claim that the trial court erred in failing to make a finding of the defendant’s ability to pay the amount in question.

The opinions can be viewed Monday starting at 10:00 a.m.
