354 N.E.2d 510

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. JAMES DORSEY, Defendant-Appellant.

Appellate Court of Illinois — Second District (1st Division).

Opinion filed August 27, 1976.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Ralph Ruebner and J. Daniel Stewart, both of State Appellate Defender's Office, of Elgin, for appellant.

Patrick E. Ward, State's Attorney, of Dixon (Edward N. Morris and Martin P. Moltz, both of Illinois State's Attorneys Association, of counsel), for the People.


Judgment affirmed.

Mr. JUSTICE HALLETT delivered the opinion of the court:

A Lee County jury found the defendant guilty of theft of property exceeding $150 in value and the court sentenced him to three to nine years in the penitentiary. On appeal, the defendant claims (1) that the indictment is not legally sufficient; (2) that he was not proved guilty beyond a reasonable doubt; and (3) that the sentence is excessive. We disagree and affirm the judgment.
