People v. Harris

Consecutive sentences were entered of 90 years for first degree murder and 15 years for attempted armed robbery. Defendant inflicted severe bodily injury to victim during commission of triggering offense of attempted armed robbery, and thus court properly imposed consecutive sentences, as death and attempted robbery occurred essentially simultaneously. Court is presumed to have considered factors in aggravation and mitigation, including Defendant's age of 18 and lack of prior violent criminal history, and that victim was age 70. (HARRIS and CONNORS, concurring.)
