Sentencing
This case presents question as to whether trial court erred in failing to specify determinate mandatory supervised release (MSR) term within applicable range of three years to natural life for defendant's criminal sexual assault conviction? Trial court did not include any MSR term (and thus defendant received natural life MSR term from Department of Corrections), and Appellate Court remanded matter after finding that, under 703 ILCS5/5-8-1(d)(4), trial court must impose specific MSR term within guideline range.
