Jury could reasonably have believed that two eyewitnesses who recanted prior testimony at trial were doing so to help Defendant avoid a conviction. Defendant's sentence was improperly subjected to double enhancement, where current charge was elevated from Class 3 to Class 2 felony, and sentence was enhanced to Class X, because of same prior Class 2 felony conviction.
