People v. Owens

In People v. Owens, 377 Ill. App. 3d 302, 305-06, 878 N.E.2d 1189, 316 Ill. Dec. 165 (2007), the Court questioned whether the defendant was properly sentenced where he was charged with a Class 4 felony, elevated to a Class 2 charge based on prior convictions, but given a Class X sentence. The Court acknowledged that the sentence actually imposed fell within the Class 2 sentencing range, but in light of the trial court's imposition of a Class X sentence we remanded for a new sentencing hearing.
