Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Juvenile Sentencing
Respondent, a minor, was convicted of home invasion, attempted aggravated robbery, and criminal trespass to a residence. Court sentenced Respondent to indeterminate sentence in Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice (DOJJ). Evidence supported court's finding of guilty; court did not find credible the testimony from Respondent's family members that Respondent was home the entire night, and court was able to reconcile any inconsistencies in testimony of three witnesses who were inside the home. Court was presented with alternatives to incarceration, and court did not abuse its sentencing discretion in finding DOJJ was least restrictive alternative based on facts.(TURNER and STEIGMANN, concurring.)
