Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Sentencing
Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of aggravated battery and unlawful possession of a firearm, and was sentenced to 18 years and 3 years for these offenses. Court adequately considered relevant factors in mitigation, and Defendant offered no affirmative evidence to show that court did not sufficiently consider mitigating factors of Defendant's youth, history of mental illness, and rehabilitation potential. Sentence was not excessive.(CARTER and SCHMIDT, concurring.)
