Appellate Court of Illinois

Decided February 8, 1980No. 78-1894PublishedCited by 6 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtJustice Wilson

After a bench trial, defendant was found guilty of armed robbery and sentenced to a prison term of six to 10 years. On appeal, he contends: (1) he was not proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt; (2) he was denied due process and the right to confront witnesses against him when the trial court permitted the prosecutor to insinuate facts unsupported by the evidence; (3) the trial court erred in allowing the prosecution to introduce certain inadmissible “hearsay” into evidence; and (4) the trial court made certain errors during the sentencing hearing which require a new hearing. We affirm.
