JUSTICE MYERSCOUGH, specially concurring in part and dissenting in part: I specially concur in part and respectfully dissent in part. I agree the trial court should be affirmed. However, I would affirm in full. The court did not assess the $100 fine as a punishment but as reimbursement to the county for its operating costs. The docket entry from August 19, 2008, states, “The fine which by now should have been delivered to the Sangamon County General Fund, the same Sangamon County which supports the Juvenile Detention Center, will help defray the copious copy costs the county has suffered at the hands of the contemnor.” For this reason, I would affirm in full.
