Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Sentencing
(Court opinion corrected 3/27/18.) Defendant was sentenced to 12 years for aggravated criminal sexual assault with a dangerous weapon. Defendant forfeited his argument that sentencing was too lenient. Plain error does not apply, as Defendant was not prejudiced or deprived of a fair sentencing hearing. Court's error in sentencing benefited Defendant, as he was given an unlawfully lenient sentencing range. Although parties and court were misinformed, hearing was lengthy, thorough, and fair. (HUTCHINSON and JORGENSEN, concurring.)
