I've read the Michael case, which is one of the latest ones, in which basically a street person had a victim surcharge fund of $900 imposed and is never going to be able to pay it.
What I'd like is not to have the wide discretion that judges had before, whereby they basically waived all the victim surcharge, which is fundamentally wrong, but to have a situation wherein, under narrow restrictions, judges can exempt even the minimum surcharge from being paid in cases in which the person is mentally ill, is a street person, or has no hope.... They don't even have a hundred dollars, so why impose it? I think you could do that. It would make a fundamental difference. But people who have the funds should pay, and it should be that increased amount.
