Syllabus

Mandatory fine; indigent; unable to pay; ineffective assistance of counsel. Trial court properly imposed a mandatory fine where defendant, who may have been indigent, was able to pay the fine while in prison. Trial counsel was not ineffective for failing to file affidavit of indigency in order to avoid mandatory fine because the defendant was able to pay the fine in prison and establishing indigency would not have changed that fact.
