People v. Hanson

Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of criminal damage to property and domestic battery. Defendant was sentenced to extended-term sentence of 5 years for that conviction, and 364 days for criminal damage to property. Even if court erroneously believed that Defendant was extended-term eligible because of particular prior conviction, error was not sufficiently grave to deprive him of fair sentencing hearing, as Defendant was extended-term eligible. Plain-error doctrine does not apply to court's alleged error as to restitution, where court accepted State's statement of restitution amount, and Defendant did not contest it.(POPE and TURNER, concurring.)
