Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Sentencing
Defendant was convicted of aggravated criminal sexual assault and murder. As offenses were committed during single course of conduct, court should have imposed consecutive sentences, and thus concurrent sentences are void, as statutory requirements for mandatory consecutive sentences apply. Remand for resentencing is appropriate remedy. Plea agreement, taken as a whole, is not contrary to statutory authority and thus not void, even though sentence imposed in implementation of that agreement was void. (MURPHY, concurring; QUINN, specially concurring.)
