Appellate Court of Illinois April 22, 1981, No. 16711 (People v. Ingram)

lead-opinion

Mr. JUSTICE MILLS

delivered the opinion of the court:

We refuse to second-guess the trial judge.

True — the punishment is severe. However, it was imposed for the original offense and not for the violation of sentencing terms.

The fact that the trial judge attempted periodic imprisonment does not denigrate the gravity of the offense.
