Appellate Court of Illinois December 19, 1972, 56803 (People v. Hutchins)

Mr. JUSTICE LEIGHTON

delivered the opinion of the court:

This appeal unfolds a phenomenon of our times: the inexplicable, reasonless street killing of one teenage lad by another. In this case, defendant was charged with murder, a jury convicted him and the court sentenced him to imprisonment for 30 to 60 years.

The event, a tragedy for all concerned, occurred at about 7:00 P.M.
