Defendant pled guilty to aggravated domestic battery and sentenced to 12 years, and was deemed subject to extended-term sentencing based on prior California conviction. In determining whether a defendant is subject to extended-term sentencing based on prior conviction in another jurisdiction for the same or similar class felony, comparison should include sentencing range of prior conviction with sentencing range of an equivalent Illinois offense.
