Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
DUI
(Court opinion corrected 10/5/10.) Defendant was convicted of Class X felony DUI, based on having six or more prior DUI convictions, and was sentenced to 80 months in prison.Law which raised sixth or subsequent DUI from Class 2 felony to Class X felony was implicitly repealed by other laws; thus, his DUI conviction must be reduced to Class 1 felony, under principle of lenity and given irreconcilable conflicts of laws. (HUTCHINSON and JORGENSEN, concurring.)
