Martin v. People
76 Ill. 499
Opinion
The judgment in this case was fatally defective. The judgment for imprisonment was for 180 days in gross. It should have fixed the imprisonment for a specific number of days on each count on which the jury found the defendant guilty, the imprisonment on the several counts to • commence at the expiration of each preceding term of imprisonment. This is the rule announced in the case of People ex rel. Massy v. Whitson, 75 Ill.-. That case governs this.
The judgment of the court below is reversed and the cause remanded.
Judgment reversed.
