Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Sentencing
Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of aggravated criminal sexual assault and home invasion, and found that offenses were accompanied by exceptionally brutal or heinous behavior indicative of wanton cruelty in beating and raping 75-year-old woman after breaking into her apartment. Court was within its discretion in imposing 120-year sentence. Defendant had limited criminal history only because he had been imprisoned most of his lifetime, and committed multiple disciplinary infractions during incarceration, and offense was brutal and caused multiple permanent injuries to victim. (ZENOFF and JORGENSEN, concurring.)
