THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. BURDELL VAUGHN, Defendant-Appellant.

Opinion filed February 21, 1979.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Ralph Ruebner and Michael J. Pelletier, both of State Appellate Defender's Office, of Chicago, for appellant.

Bernard Carey, State's Attorney, of Chicago (Marcia B. Orr, Paul C. Gridelli, and Christopher Cronson, Assistant State's Attorneys, of counsel), for the People.

Judgment affirmed.

Mr. JUSTICE McNAMARA delivered the opinion of the court:

Defendant, Burdell Vaughn, was charged with armed robbery. After a jury found him guilty of that crime, the trial court sentenced him to six to 18 years. On appeal defendant contends that certain comments of the prosecutor during closing argument deprived him of a fair trial. Defendant also argues that the sentence imposed was excessive and should be reduced by this court.
