People v. Scott

Defendant, age 16 at time of offense, and his codefendant, who was age 15 at time of offense, were tried at joint bench trial and convicted of aggravated robbery and unlawful restraint, after robbing woman walking down a street of 2 backpacks. The unlawful-restraint conviction must be vacated under the one-act, one-crime doctrine.
