1Opinion of the CourtJustice Mills

A jury convicted the defendant of armed robbery, aggravated kidnapping and attempt murder, and he received three concurrent terms of 25 to 75 years imprisonment. He raises four issues on appeal: (1) whether his sanity was proved beyond a reasonable doubt; (2) whether he was denied a fair and impartial trial because of improper statements in the prosecutor’s closing argument; (3) whether the State failed to prove venue beyond a reasonable doubt; and (4) whether the court erred in entering judgment on both the aggravated kidnapping and attempt murder convictions.
