People v. Gray

Defendant was found guilty of being an armed habitual criminal as well as multiple gun offenses and was sentenced to nine years in prison. On appeal, he argued that the AHC was unconstitutional, that the circuit erred by refusing to accept his guilty plea, that the jury improperly considered hearsay and other crimes evidence, and that he was improperly sentenced. The appellate court affirmed, finding that the AHC statute was not unconstitutional as applied to the defendant, that there was no obvious error in the testimony the jury considered, and that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in sentencing defendant. (HYMAN and GAMRATH, concurring)
