Description
Defendant Manuel Vernell Berry was convicted, following a jury trial in the circuit court of Franklin County, of five counts of unlawful delivery of a controlled substance. He was sentenced to a determinate term of four years' imprisonment on count I, delivery of cocaine, and five years for each of four counts of delivery of heroin. The sentences were ordered to be served consecutively and the defendant was fined $5,000 on each count. On appeal, the defendant asserts, inter alia, that the trial court improperly found the statutory aggravating factor of compensation to be present based on the proceeds of the drug sales. In a written order, filed August 23, 1982, the trial court found that the defendant received compensation for committing the offenses. At the sentencing hearing the trial court emphasized that the defendant assumed the risk of criminal penalties because drug transactions were so profitable. In imposing the $25,000 fine, the court stated, The purpose of this fine is * * * to remove the profit element from illegal trafficking in drugs and to deter others from engaging in similar conduct.
