Appellate Court of Illinois May 19, 2003, 5-01-0666 (People v. O'QUINN)

JUSTICE KUEHN,

dissenting:

I respectfully take issue with the majority opinion on two fronts.

It seems clear to me that the defendant was convicted of a crime, and treated to more severe punishment because of it, even though that crime did not exist, and the punishment could not have been imposed, when he committed the acts that compose his criminal behavior.
