Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Murder
Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of attempted murders of 2 police officers, and was sentenced to 2 consecutive 50-year terms of imprisonment. By creating a Class X offense of 20 to 80 years, legislature already enhanced the sentence. Thus, court erred in applying the 25-year firearm enhancement from subsection (D) of 720 ILCS 5/8-4(c)(1) of the Criminal Code to Defendant's convictions. (GRIFFIN and WALKER, concurring.)
