People v. Edwards

Defendant, age 17 at time of offense, was convicted, after stipulated bench trial, of 1st degree murder and attempted murder., and was sentenced to 90 years. Defendant's statements were voluntary and court properly denied his motion to suppress. The grant of a motion for psychological evaluation, without more, does not create sufficient inference that court found bona fide doubt of Defendant's fitness to stand trial so as to require fitness hearing before proceeding. Defendant did not receive 76-year mandatory minimum term, but was sentenced to 14 years over mandatory minimum, and thus he cannot attack constitutionality of that mandatory minimum. (HOLDRIDGE, concurring; WRIGHT, concurring in part and dissenting in part.)
