District: 
1st Dist. Rule 23 Order.
This case presents question as to whether trial court properly imposed enhanced sentence of 12 years on involuntary manslaughter charge arising out of death of girlfriend's two-year-old son. Appellate Court, in remanding case for new sentence hearing, found that enhancement under section 112A-3(3) concerning involuntary manslaughter of family or household member did not apply where record failed to show that defendant and victim shared common dwelling. Moreover, mere fact that defendant and girlfriend were involved in intimate relationship was insufficient to support imposition of enhancement.
