Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Sentencing
Defendant was convicted of unlawful use or possession of a weapon (UUW) by a felon and sentenced to five years in prison. Prosecutor state, at sentencing, that offense was a Class 2 felony due to Defendant's prior gun conviction. Defendant's sentence could not be "enhanced" to Class 2 felony because Defendant was convicted of a Class 2 felony, based on his prior gun offense, and thus he was not entitled to notice of enhancement. (PALMER and TAYLOR, concurring.)
