Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Sentencing
Defendant was found guilty of aggravated driving under the influence and reckless homicide and was sentenced to 14 years in prison. On appeal, defendant argued that he was denied the effective assistance of counsel where his trial attorney failed to produce evidence relevant to the youth-based factors in mitigation and failed to object to unauthorized victim impact evidence. The appellate court agreed and remanded for re-sentencing. (DOHERTY and LANNERD, concurring)
