Case Number: 
2013 IL App (1st) 120580
Decision Date: 
Friday, December 20, 2013
District: 
1st Dist.
Division/County: 
Cook Co., 5th Div.
Holding: 
Reversed and remanded for resentencing.
Justice: 
McBRIDE
As prior case law has held that 15-year enhancement for aggravated criminal sexual assault violates proportionate penalties clause, Defendant is entitled to be resentenced without that enhancement. Armed violence statute in effect at time of Defendant's crime and sentencing excluded aggravated criminal sexual assault, but did not exclude criminal sexual assault. Aggravating factor was possession of a firearm, which is identical to armed violence based on commission of criminal sexual assault. (GORDON and TAYLOR, concurring.)
