OAG 73-111 is cited to support the principle that courts must consider an indigent defendant's inability to make immediate payment when imposing fines, and must provide reasonable alternative methods of payment. This aligns with the decision's discussion on the need for courts to offer alternatives like installment payments to avoid imprisoning indigent defendants solely for their inability to pay fines immediately.
OAG 73-111 was Followed by OAG 77-155
