Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Juvenile Sentencing
Respondent, age 14 at time of shooting, was convicted of first-degree murder for shooting death of 17-year-old. Respondent was sentenced to imprisonment in Department of Juvenile Justice until age 21, with mandatory minimum 45-year adult criminal sentence. Under extended jurisdiction juvenile (EJJ) statute, adult sentence stayed, to be vacated upon completion of juvenile sentence if no new offenses and no violation of conditions of juvenile sentence. As stay on Respondent's adult sentence has not been revoked and it is currently in no jeopardy of being revoked, he lacks standing at this time to challenge severity of his adult sentence, as his asserted injury is too remote to confer standing.(HOWSE and EPSTEIN, concurring.)
