Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Sentencing
Defendant, who has a record of minor, nonviolent offenses, broke window of a truck and stole hat and 2 packs of cigarettes. As Defendant qualified for Class X sentencing, his conviction resulted in sentence of 10 1/2 years. As sentence does not reflect trivial nature of offense, and is not necessary to protect the public, sentence is reduced to minimum of 6 years. (PUCINSKI, concurring; MASON, dissenting.)
