1Per curiam
In a joint trial, appellants were convicted by a jury of felony murder, armed robbery, and assault with a deadly weapon. They were all denied Youth Corrections Act 1 sentences, and received twenty years to life on the murder counts, and lesser, concurrent, sentences for the other convictions. 2 We affirm the felony murder and armed robbery convictions, and vacate the assault with a deadly weapon convictions. 3 We also reverse Stevens’ sentence, and hold in abeyance the contentions of Branic and Baskerville with respect to the trial court’s refusal to impose youth sentences.
