Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of the Class 1 felony of driving on a revoked license and sentenced as a mandatory Class X offender to 12 years.Sentencing range for this offense is extended because Defendant has 2 prior convictions for the same offense, and the instant and prior convictions were committed when his license was revoked for another prior conviction (reckless homicide.)  No error in trial court's reliance on the license abstract alongside certified copies of convictions in sentencing Defendant. (MIKVA and CONNORS, concurring.)
