People v. Inman

Court dismissed Defendant's postconviction petition at second stage. Defendant had been concurrent prison terms of natural life for murder and 30 years for attempted first-degree murder; after natural life sentence was vacated years later, Defendant was resentenced to 35 years for murder, to be served consecutive to 30-year attempted murder sentence. Defendant's consecutive sentences do not violate right to due process and are not double jeopardy. At time of original sentencing, Defendant had no legitimate expectation of reduction of sentence by available credit, as sentence had no chance of release during his lifetime. No due process violation as neither sentence is more severe than original sentences imposed. (GOLDENHERSH and WEXSTTEN, concurring.)
