People v. Coleman

Defendant appealed from his conviction for aggravated vehicular hijacking, arguing that there was insufficient evidence to prove the aggravating factor that there was a 15-year-old passenger in the stolen vehicle at the time of the offense. The appellate court affirmed, finding that even though the minor exited the vehicle a short time after the defendant hijacked it, the evidence supported a finding that the aggravating factor existed at the time of the offense. (McDADE and DAVENPORT, concurring)
