61 N.E.2d 355 | Ill. | 1945
May 13, 1942, Joseph Panczko and Walter Jedyenak were convicted in the criminal court of Cook county of the crime of burglary. They were sentenced to imprisonment in the penitentiary for indeterminate terms of from one year to life. The trial judge made advisory recommendations that the minimum and maximum limits of their imprisonment be not less than two and not more than five years. Both defendants prosecuted a writ of error, and, upon a review of the record, this court decided that they had been legally convicted. (People v. Panczko,
Since the amendments of 1941 to sections 2, 3, 7 and 7a, and section 3a added to an act to revise the law in relation to the sentencing and commitment of persons convicted of crime, were unconstitutional, it follows necessarily that the Sentence and Parole Act as it obtained prior to the amendments of 1941 afforded the sole guide to be followed in sentencing prisoners convicted of crime prior to the day the amendments of 1943 became effective. (People ex rel. Barrett v. Sbarbaro,
The judgment of the criminal court of Cook county is affirmed.
