Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Juvenile Sentencing
(Correcting case link.) Defendant was sentenced, as a juvenile, to 90 years for attempted 1st degree murder and aggravated criminal sexual assault; he receives day-for-day credit and may serve only 45 years, when he will be age 62. Because Defendant is not serving either a life sentence or a "de facto" life sentence without the possibility of parole, the recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions, requiring that a juvenile's youth and immaturity must be considered before sentencing to life without possibility of parole do not apply to him.(NEVILLE and MASON, concurring.)
