People v. Beason

(Before Burke,-P-.--J., Goldberg and Simon, JJ.):

Jonathan Beason, defendant, was found guilty after a bench trial of the crimes of attempt rápe, aggravated battery and robbery (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1971, ch. 38, pars. 8 — 4, 12 — 4 and 18 — 1). Defendant was sentenced to concurrent terms of 3 to 9 years for attempt rape, 3 to 9 years for aggravated battery, and 5 to 10 years for robbery. Defendant appeals arguing that the Státe "failed to establish his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt on each of the three crimes charged and that the sentences imposed upon him-were excessive.
