Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Sentencing
Defendant was convicted of intimidation, home invasion, armed robbery, and aggravated kidnapping, after forcibly entering family's apartment. Court properly found 17-year-old, who was present at incident and who knew Defendant very well, was credible witness who identified Defendant. State was not required to present corroborating physical evidence at trial, as witness' identification and testimony were found credible. 15-year sentencing enhancement for aggravated kidnapping violated proportionate penalties clause. (QUINN and CONNORS, concurring.)
