People v. Ramsey

Defendant was convicted of Class X home invasion, and 2 counts of Class 3 aggravated battery. There was sufficient evidence that laundry room in apartment building was not part of the dwelling. Court did not abuse its discretion in denying motion for substitution of counsel in the absence of ready and willing substitute counsel. Court did not erroneously deprive Defendant of counsel of his choice. Extended-term sentence was erroneously imposed on offense that was not within the most serious class, and sentence for aggravated battery is thus reduced to the maximum nonextended term of 5 years. (JORGENSEN and BURKE, concurring.)
