Martin v. People

76 Ill. 499
Illinois Supreme Court·Decided January 15, 1875·Published·Cited by 3 cases

Opinion

Per Curiam :

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.
