Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Sentencing
After jury trial, Defendant was found guilty of aggravated discharge of firearm, aggravated unlawful use of weapon, and unlawful possession of weapon by felon; judgment entered on first two counts and vacated third count. Court properly vacated the third count, because legislature intended, as confirmed by Supreme Court, that unlawful possession of weapon by felon is less serious offense than aggravated unlawful use of weapon. Court acted within its discretion by considering as an aggravating factor the relative threat of harm caused by Defendant's conduct.
