ROBERT N. BOUYER, Defendant-Appellant." ], "opinions": [ { "text": "JUSTICE O\u2019MALLEY\ndelivered the opinion of the court:\nDefendant, Robert Bouyer, appeals the circuit court\u2019s order sentencing him to five years\u2019 imprisonment after the court revoked his probation. Defendant contends that the five-year sentence was an abuse of discretion because it resulted solely from defendant\u2019s failure to abide by an improper agreement with the trial court whereby defendant would not be imprisoned as long as he paid restitution in monthly installments.\nIn 1997, defendant pleaded guilty to two counts of burglary (720 ILCS 5/19\u20141(a) (West 1996)). In exchange for the plea, the State recommended a sentence of 30 months\u2019 probation and dismissed other charges. Defendant also agreed to pay restitution.\nThe factual basis for defendant\u2019s plea was that he and a codefen-dant, Bishop, entered a Menard\u2019s store and took various items. Defendant and Bishop also entered a truck belonging to Sheetz Lawn Service and took various items. Defendant and Bishop were both represented by the same assistant public defender, Michael Barrett.\nThe trial court found that the plea was voluntary and imposed the agreed-upon sentence. Because defendant wanted to return to Texas, the court agreed to waive his presence at a scheduled hearing to set the amount of restitution (as long as defendant did not dispute the amount).\nOn August 21, 1997, Barrett sought to continue the restitution hearing so that he could send a copy of the report to defendant in Texas. The court stated, \u201cI want you to understand that Mr. Bishop, because of his financial circumstances[,] is unable to pay, I want Bouyer to shoulder the whole load.\u201d Barrett responded, \u201cI understand.\u201d Bishop was subsequently sentenced to prison.\nOn January 21, 1998, the prosecutor told the court that the parties had been unable to agree on the amount of restitution and asked for a date for a contested hearing. The court asked, \u201c[A]re we doing an exercise in futility or what?\u201d Barrett responded, \u201cThe co-defendant who would be held responsible for the entire amount is in Texas and is a stocker at a grocery store earning $6 an hour.\u201d After some further colloquy, the court stated, \u201cI\u2019m setting a date. I\u2019m not going to put up with this nonsense. I have two people that basically are judgment proof contesting it.\u201d\nOn April 16, 1998, Barrett again appeared on behalf of defendant and Bishop. Barrett said that Bishop, who was still in prison, had agreed to be jointly and severally liable with defendant for $6,603.04, spread among five victims. Barrett also said that he had sent defendant a letter informing him that if he failed to appear for the hearing judgment could be entered against him. Barrett had not heard from defendant. The court thus entered judgment against defendant and Bishop jointly and severally.\nOn October 19, 1998, the State petitioned to revoke defendant\u2019s probation, alleging that he had tested positive for cannabis twice and had committed disorderly conduct in Texas. A warrant was issued for defendant\u2019s arrest.\nEventually defendant completed an affidavit of assets and liabilities that showed he lived with his mother and brother and had been employed as a cook earning $150 per week. His employment ended when he was arrested on the warrant. Defendant listed his assets as $22.36. On February 9, 1999, defendant appeared in court and admitted to the allegations that he tested positive for marijuana. No agreement on a sentence was made.\nBarrett asked that defendant be released on bond so that he could go back to Texas. He added that the parties had agreed to postpone the sentencing hearing for three months, during which time defendant would pay $300 per month toward restitution. The court accepted defendant\u2019s admission and revoked his probation. The court stated, \u201cIt\u2019s contemplated that if in fact those payments are current on May 11th that we would continue the sentencing for approximately another three months. If they were not current we would proceed with the sentencing. Do you understand?\u201d Defendant responded that he did.\nOn May 11, 1999, Barrett reported that defendant had made three $300 payments since the revocation and the court accordingly continued the sentencing hearing for another three months. On August 10, the State reported that defendant was \u201ca little short\u201d on his payments. The court suggested that if defendant was \u201cstill a little short in three months he\u2019s going to have a problem.\u201d\nOn November 10, 1999, Barrett reported that defendant\u2019s family had made a $900 payment by credit card to make defendant current with his payments. The court continued the hearing for three more months. Defendant\u2019s sister made a $600 debit card payment on February 10 to again make defendant current, so the hearing was continued again.\nOn June 8, 2000, the court was informed that defendant had not made his payments. Public defender Chris Harmon told the court that he had left two messages for defendant. The court issued a bench warrant and continued the cause to determine whether defendant should be sentenced in absentia.\nOne week later, Harmon reported that he had spoken to defendant\u2019s sister, but not to defendant, who had failed to return his calls. According to Harmon, defendant\u2019s family members had told him that morning that they wanted to pay off all of defendant\u2019s fines, costs, and restitution, but had \u201csome disagreement with the amount that\u2019s reflected on the finance screen.\u201d The court told Harmon, \u201cI guess they better come up and argue it.\u201d The court ordered defendant to be served with notice of the sentencing hearing and ordered that a pre-sentence report be prepared. In response to Harmon\u2019s question, the court stated, \u201cMy position has always been up to this date that if\u2014 and because that was the agreement that was entered into by everybody, if the man paid off the thing, the case would be terminated.\u201d\nThe court expressed its belief that defendant or his family wanted to renegotiate the restitution agreement. Harmon said, \u201cThey\u2019re not dickering with what\u2019s \u2014 They\u2019re thinking they have possibly paid more than what\u2019s reflected on the sheet.\u201d The court said that it would only credit defendant\u2019s account if his family had receipts with the case number on them. Then the following colloquy occurred:\n\u201cTHE COURT: No. I don\u2019t think the deal is off. I think that I just don\u2019t want to \u2014 You see, what Mr. Bouyer wants me to do is negotiate with him now, and I don\u2019t want to do that. Time for negotiation is all done.\nMR. HARMON: Actually it\u2019s not Mr. Bouyer. I believe it\u2019s Mr. Bouyer\u2019s family.\nTHE COURT: Mr. Bouyer is the one who\u2019s going to pay the price, not his family.\nMR. HARMON: Exactly.\nTHE COURT: Well, nonmonetary price.\u201d\nOn August 31, over Harmon\u2019s objection, the trial court held a sentencing hearing. In mitigation, counsel noted that defendant was legally blind, could not obtain a driver\u2019s license, and was unemployed. He had applied for social security disability but was turned down. Harmon also observed that Bishop, not defendant, was the instigator of the criminal conduct. Commenting that defendant had \u201cnot kept his part of the bargain,\u201d the prosecutor asked for a seven-year prison sentence.\nA dispute arose about the extent of defendant\u2019s disability and the court commented that it did not know the answer because defendant had not come to court. Harmon replied that defendant\u2019s parents intended to pay off the debt by credit card, which did not necessitate defendant coming to court from Texas.\nThe court sentenced defendant to five years\u2019 imprisonment. In imposing the sentence the court stated as follows:\n\u201cI do not know what the status of his blindness is or his sight is today, and have not known it for approximately two years because he refuses to come to this court, I guess since January 21st of 1999 \u2014 strike that \u2014 February 9th of 1999, when he was granted a personal recognizance bond, and part of that recognizance bond was an agreement by him to pay a minimum of three hundred dollars a month toward restitution.\nSo, I can only take it that he is able to pay that restitution as he agreed, because I have not seen anything to show that he cannot pay that restitution.\nThe Court finds that based on his willful violation of the terms and conditions of his probation that I will revoke his probation, and further finds that additional probation or conditional discharge would deprecate the seriousness of his conduct and be inconsistent with the ends of justice.\u201d\nDefendant filed a timely notice of appeal. He contends that the trial court abused its discretion in imposing a five-year prison sentence where the sentence was apparently based, not on the conduct for which he was originally sentenced to probation, but on his failure to comply with a separate agreement with the trial court to pay restitution.\nGenerally, a reviewing court may not overturn the sentence the trial court imposed unless that court abused its discretion. People v. Visor, 313 Ill. App. 3d 567, 573 (2000). However, the consideration of an improper aggravating factor is an abuse of discretion that requires resentencing unless the factor was an insignificant element of the sentence. People v. McPhee, 256 Ill. App. 3d 102, 114 (1993); People v. Joe, 207 Ill. App. 3d 1079, 1085 (1991). After revoking probation, a trial court can consider the crime that resulted in the revocation and defendant\u2019s conduct during the probationary period only as evidence of his or her rehabilitative potential. People v. Bedenkop, 252 Ill. App. 3d 419, 424-25 (1993). The new sentence, however, cannot punish the defendant for anything other than the original underlying offense. People v. Witte, 317 Ill. App. 3d 959, 963 (2000).\nHere, the trial court\u2019s actions and comments throughout the proceedings make clear that defendant was punished primarily for falling behind in his restitution payments. After revoking defendant\u2019s probation on February 9, 1999, the court did not resentence him, but continued the case for three-month intervals as long as defendant or his family paid $300 per month toward restitution. The court expressly stated that it would consider the case \u201cterminated\u201d if defendant paid all his obligations. The court thus expressed its opinion that defendant was not a threat to society and deserved to continue on probation as long as he continued paying restitution.\nOn August 31, 2000, however, the court sentenced defendant to five years\u2019 imprisonment, finding that probation would \u201cdeprecate the seriousness of his conduct.\u201d The only thing that had changed since the previous hearing was that defendant had fallen behind in paying restitution. In imposing the sentence, the court never mentioned the conduct for which defendant was originally placed on probation or, for that matter, the conduct for which his probation was revoked. The court referred only to the defendant\u2019s \u201cwillful\u201d failure to pay restitution. It is thus clear that the court imprisoned defendant for failing to pay restitution.\nCourts have disapproved of the practice of making a defendant\u2019s sentence contingent upon his ability to pay restitution. In People v. Short, 66 Ill. App. 3d 172 (1978), the court held that the trial court improperly conditioned defendants\u2019 probation on their ability to borrow from their parents to make immediate restitution. Short, 66 Ill. App. 3d at 175-76. Noting that that consideration related to neither the seriousness of the offense nor defendants\u2019 rehabilitative potential, the court stated that it \u201cwould be patently unjust to deny probation because of an apparent inability to make immediate restitution.\u201d Short, 66 Ill. App. 3d at 176.\nIn People v. Harpole, 97 Ill. App. 2d 28, 34 (1968), the court stated that where \u201crestitution becomes the ultimate criterion for imposition or relaxation of punishment, as we believe occurred in the instant case, a theory of penology is propounded which predicates punishment upon the inability of the offender to make monetary payment for his misconduct.\u201d In People v. Hancock, 143 Ill. App. 3d 1027, 1032 (1986), this court held that a defendant could not be conditionally sentenced to prison if he failed to pay restitution.\nThis case is in some ways similar to Short. It became clear during the protracted proceedings that the payments were actually coming from members of defendant\u2019s family. Thus, defendant\u2019s freedom was conditioned on his family\u2019s willingness to continue making the payments.\nWe note that the trial court\u2019s remarks during sentencing that defendant\u2019s probation was being revoked as a result of his \u201cwillful failure\u201d to comply with the probation condition requiring restitution were incorrect. The court had already revoked defendant\u2019s probation on February 9, 1999. Thus, defendant is correct in arguing that restitution was no longer a condition of probation after that date. The State never sought to revoke probation based on a failure to pay restitution.\nMoreover, there is no support in the record for the trial court\u2019s statement that defendant\u2019s failure to pay was wilful. If the State had sought to revoke probation based on the failure to pay restitution, it would have had to prove both that defendant was able to pay restitution and that his failure to do so was wilful. See People v. Davis, 216 Ill. App. 3d 884, 888 (1991). This is because the constitution prohibits imprisonment for debt. In re C.A.H., 218 Ill. App. 3d 577, 582 (1991), citing Ill. Const. 1970, art. I, \u00a7 14. It is true that in People v. Clark, 268 Ill. App. 3d 810 (1995), where defendant did not attend the hearing, the court properly presumed that his failure to pay restitution was wilful. However, Clark is distinguishable because the information available showed that defendant had been making a steady income but had made no payments toward his obligations. Defense counsel did not offer an explanation for defendant\u2019s failure to meet his obligations. Clark, 268 Ill. App. 3d at 815.\nHere, the information available in the record strongly indicates that defendant did not wilfully refuse to make payments. Initially, it appears that defendant was able to pay, at least with the help of his family. In fact, defendant and his family had already paid nearly half the total amount due. We are aware of no authority that the capacity to borrow from relatives is not a proper consideration in determining the ability to pay. However, where, as here, the family balks at making further payments, it does not necessarily follow that defendant wil-fully refused to pay.\nA defendant must be sentenced for his own conduct, not that of his family. In re M.W., 246 Ill. App. 3d 654, 659 (1993); Joe, 207 Ill. App. 3d at 1086-87. The trial court had earlier stated, however, that defendant would pay the \u201cnonmonetary price\u201d for his family\u2019s contesting the amount of restitution it had paid.\nMoreover, the record does not support the conclusion that defendant was able to continue making the payments without his family\u2019s assistance. At the outset of the case, the court expressed its belief that defendant was \u201cjudgment proof.\u201d In a financial affidavit defendant listed his assets as approximately $22. The presentence report, which the prosecutor said he did not dispute, shows that defendant is legally blind and cannot get a driver\u2019s license. At best, he worked at a series of low-wage jobs. At the sentencing hearing, his attorney represented that defendant was unemployed.\nThe State is correct that most of this information was technically hearsay, much of it coming from defendant\u2019s attorneys. However, the rules of evidence are relaxed at a sentencing hearing. People v. Blanck, 263 Ill. App. 3d 224, 234 (1994). Moreover, the State did not dispute any of the information about defendant and did not present any evidence that he was wilfully refusing to pay.\nIn summary, the trial court revoked defendant\u2019s probation on February 9, 1999. The court agreed with defendant to defer sentencing as long as defendant paid restitution in installments. The court then sentenced defendant to prison for five years, not for the conduct for which he was originally placed on probation, but for failing to abide by the arrangement with the court and with no determination that defendant was wilfully refusing to pay.\nThe State argues that the trial court appropriately sentenced defendant for failing to appear in court and failing to present evidence \u201cto mitigate his actions.\u201d The State\u2019s argument is disingenuous because a defendant has no duty to present mitigating evidence at a sentencing hearing and should not be penalized for failing to do so. In any event, the evidence that defendant supposedly failed to present\u2014 relating to whether his failure to pay restitution was wilful \u2014 was of limited relevance. As noted above, the purpose of the hearing was to resentence defendant for the burglaries to which he originally pleaded guilty (see Witte, 317 Ill. App. 3d at 963), not to assess his conduct while on probation. While such conduct is relevant to a defendant\u2019s rehabilitative potential, it cannot be the sole basis for the sentence following a revocation of probation. The State does not address at all the issue whether five years\u2019 imprisonment was an appropriate sentence for the underlying burglaries.\nThe State also argues that defendant was properly punished for failing to come to court. The trial court\u2019s remarks demonstrate that this was also a factor in the sentence. While we do not condone defendant\u2019s failure to come to court, this single aggravating factor does not support a five-year sentence.\nWe note that defendant\u2019s nonappearance is mitigated by several factors. Initially, it is not completely clear that defendant\u2019s failure to attend court was wilful or, as defense counsel suggested, the result of his disability and indigence. In any event, we note that early on in the proceedings the trial court agreed to allow defendant\u2019s probation to be transferred to Texas and to excuse his presence at the restitution hearing. Subsequently, the court continued to tolerate defendant\u2019s absence as long as the restitution payments were current. Defendant had no notice that his failure to attend court on this one occasion would be dealt with much more harshly.\nThe presentence report shows that defendant\u2019s criminal record is not lengthy. In addition to the offenses at issue, he had one conviction of unlawful possession of a stolen motor vehicle for which he also received probation, and a subsequent conviction in Texas of theft for which he spent seven days in jail. The sole fact that defendant failed to attend court one time does not justify a sentence of five years\u2019 imprisonment. Thus, the sentence must be vacated and the cause remanded for resentencing.\nDefendant raises several arguments about the original restitution order. Defendant\u2019s apparent purpose is to further demonstrate the unfairness of jailing him for not paying restitution when he was never properly required to pay restitution in the first place. Although we have resolved the primary issue in defendant\u2019s favor, we address these issues to the extent they may arise on remand.\nDefendant contends that the original restitution order was entered in his absence and without regard to his ability to pay. The State responds that defendant waived any objection to the restitution order and in fact requested that he be excused from the hearing and stipulated to the amount due. Defendant also contends, however, that his counsel at the time, Barrett, had a conflict of interest because he also represented the codefendant, Bishop.\nThe right to the effective assistance of counsel (U.S. Const., amend. VI) entitles a criminal defendant to the undivided loyalty of counsel, free from conflicting interests or inconsistent obligations. People v. Sims, 322 Ill. App. 3d 397, 410 (2001). The joint representation of codefendants can give rise to a conflict of interest. To prevail on a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel due to joint representation, the defendant must establish that an actual conflict of interest affected his attorney\u2019s performance. People v. Spreitzer, 123 Ill. 2d 1, 17 (1988); People v. Murry, 305 Ill. App. 3d 311, 315 (1999).\nHere, it does appear that Barrett labored under conflicting loyalties during the proceedings that resulted in the restitution order. Although the governing statute requires that each codefendant shall bear his or her pro rata share of restitution (730 ILCS 5/5\u20145\u20146(c)(3) (West 2000)), Barrett agreed that defendant would be responsible for the entire amount. Although the order made Bishop jointly and severally hable, it does not appear that any arrangement was made for him to pay anything.\nPlaintiff also contends that the trial court did not determine his ability to pay before ordering restitution. However, a trial court need not consider a defendant\u2019s ability to pay when initially ordering restitution. It must consider defendant\u2019s ability to pay only when setting the time and manner of payment. 730 ILCS 5/5\u20145\u20146(f) (West 2000); Visor, 313 Ill. App. 3d at 576. As noted previously, there is no authority prohibiting the court from considering a defendant\u2019s ability to borrow from relatives or others in order to meet his obligations.\nBecause this cause is being remanded for resentencing, we do not further consider these issues. On remand, the trial court is directed to ensure that defendant is represented by conflict-free counsel. If the court elects to make restitution part of the new sentence, the court should set a payment schedule taking into account defendant\u2019s ability to pay.\nThe circuit court\u2019s sentencing order is reversed, and the cause is remanded for resentencing.\nReversed and remanded with directions.\nMcLAREN and BYRNE, JJ., concur.", "type": "majority", "author": "JUSTICE O\u2019MALLEY" } ], "attorneys": [ "G.
