Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Sentencing
In a case with a lengthy procedural history, defendant requested that the appellate court remand for a hearing regarding whether he should be sentenced as an adult. Defendant argued that the trial court erred when it declined to hold a hearing on this issue on the basis that doing so would violate an earlier mandate from the appellate court. The appellate court agreed with defendant and remanded for further proceedings. (HUTCHINSON and SCHOSTOK, concurring)
