People v. Flanery

PRESIDING JUSTICE McCUSKEY

delivered the opinion of the court:

The defendant, Sterling Flanery, appeals his conviction for armed robbery. The sole issue on appeal is whether his sentence was an abuse of discretion. We find no abuse of discretion. Therefore, we affirm.

The evidence at trial established that on October 22, 1990, Flanery robbed a gas station. The facts of his trial were stated in People v. Flanery (1992), 229 Ill. App. 3d 497, 594 N.E.2d 401, and we incorporate them by reference into this opinion.

The presentence report indicated Flanery was 56 years old at the time of the offense.…
