People v. Boyce

This case presents question as to whether defendant’s conviction for attempted solicitation of murder is valid offense under Illinois law. In his petition for leave to appeal, defendant argued that two inchoate offenses cannot be stacked together to create valid offense, Appellate Court, in affirming defendant’s conviction, found that offense of attempted solicitation of murder exists in Illinois because there is no specific attempt language included within statutory definitions of solicitation or solicitation of murder.
