Cases | 449 P.3d 715 (Ariz. Ct. App. 2019) | 2019
Although the public defender assessment fee was not a penalty, fine, or sanction for which a time payment fee could be assessed, the probation assessment was a fine as it was imposed at the time of sentencing and only upon a defendant who had been convicted of a criminal offense, and it was not a civil penalty or restitution thus, because the probation assessment constituted a fine, imposition of the $20 time payment fee was allowed. Further, having imposed a fine on defendant when it imposed the probation assessment, the court also properly imposed the penalty assessment and the $2 victim rights enforcement assessment.
