1Opinion of the CourtJustice Goldenhersh
Defendant, Delbert Ellis, was indicted in the circuit court of Macon County on one count of forgery and two counts of burglary. He entered a plea of guilty to each count, his petition for probation was denied and he was sentenced to three concurrent terms of 2 to 6 years in the penitentiary. The appellate court, holding that section 2—7(1) of the Juvenile Court Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1971, ch. 37, par. 702—7(1)) was unconstitutional, reversed the convictions (10 Ill. App. 3d 216) and we granted the People’s petition for leave to appeal as a matter of right under Rule 317. 50 Ill.2d R. 317.
