Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Sentencing
Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of armed robbery with a firearm. The legislature revived the 15-year sentencing enhancement in the armed-robbery statute by enacting P.A. 95-688, which cured proportionate-penatlies violation by removing impediment to offense of armed violence predicated on robbery. Thus, court properly applied 15-year sentence enhancement. (GOLDENHERSH and CHAPMAN, concurring.)
