Yesterday, the Michigan Supreme Court peremptorily reversed the <a title="People v. Lonsby COA Opinion" href="http://coa.courts.mi.gov/documents/opinions/final/coa/20081125_c277000_46_277000.opn.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Court of Appeals' decision </a>in <a title="People v. Lonsby Order" href="http://coa.courts.mi.gov/documents/SCT/PUBLIC/ORDERS/20090911_S138076_51_138076_2009-09-11_or.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">People v. Lonsby</a>&nbsp;in light of the Court's recent decision in <a title="People v. Jackson" href="http://coa.courts.mi.gov/documents/OPINIONS/FINAL/SCT/20090710_S135888_23_jackson2apr09-op.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">People v. Jackson</a>. In Lonsby, the Court of Appeals reversed the trial court's imposition of costs for defendant's attorney's fees because the trial court failed to consider the defendant's ability to pay. In Jackson, the Court held that an assessment of a defendant's ability to pay is not necessary at the time costs are imposed. Our previous summary of the Jackson&nbsp;decision is <a title="OCJ Post on People v. Jackson" href="http://www.ocjblog.com/'p=2137" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.
