Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.
In determining whether to impose a fine and its amount, the court shall consider:
(1) The financial resources of the defendant and the burden that payment of a fine will impose, with due regard to the other obligations of the defendant; and
(2) The ability of the defendant to pay a fine on an installment basis or on other conditions to be fixed by the court.
