1st Dist.
This case presents question as to whether adult portion of juvenile's sentence imposed under section 5-810 of Juvenile Court Act was void because trial court had failed to conduct hearing on govt.'s extended jurisdiction juvenile prosecution motion that otherwise requires such hearings to be commenced within 30 or 60 days of date of said motion. Appellate Court, in affirming juvenile's stayed 23-year sentence, found that instant delayed hearing was valid since 30 and 60-day time frames set forth in section 5-810(2) are directory in spite of "shall" language contained in said section.
