PEOPLE v. DYE

Gen. No. 11,197.

122 Ill. App.2d 480 (1970)

258 N.E.2d 589

People of the State of Illinois, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Richard Lee Dye, Defendant-Appellant.

Appellate Court of Illinois — Fourth District.

May 18, 1970.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Robert E. Williams, Assistant Public Defender of McLean County, of Bloomington, for appellant.

Paul R. Welch, State's Attorney of McLean County, of Bloomington, for appellee.


SMITH, J.

The defendant appeals from a sentence of three to five years in the penitentiary on a plea of guilty to the crime of forgery. The sole basis for this appeal is that the sentence imposed by the trial court is too severe, is not warranted by the evidence presented, by the nature of the offense, or by the defendant's background. The appeal is without merit and the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
