Decision Date: 
Wednesday, January 21, 2015
District: 
1st Dist.
Division/County: 
Cook Co., 3d Div.
Holding: 
Affirmed in part and vacated in part.
Justice: 
HYMAN
Defendant was convicted, after bench trial, of two counts of armed robbery and two counts of aggravated unlawful restraint. Convictions for both offenses violate the one-act, one-crime doctrine, where restraint was inherent in and concurrent with the armed robbery. Concurrent 12-year sentences for each armed robbery count are not excessive. No indication that court failed to consider mitigating factors, and sentence was well within statutory range.(PUCINSKI and LAVIN, concurring.)
