People v. Dorosz

In the circuit court of Cook County, defendant, Gerald Dorosz, was convicted of unlawful possession of cannabis and unlawful possession of a controlled substance. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1985, ch. 56V2, pars. 704(d), 1402(b).) He was sentenced to three years’ imprisonment. This sentence was to be consecutive to a sentence of five years’ imprisonment that already had been imposed by a different judge of the same court in a second drug case.

Defendant contends that the trial court erred in imposing a consecutive sentence. For the reasons that follow, we modify defendant’s sentence.
