State v. Breeden
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of aggravated criminal sodomy of a child under the age of fourteen. The sentencing court sentenced Defendant to life imprisonment with a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of not less than twenty-five years. The Supreme Court affirmed Defendant's conviction and hard twenty-five life sentence but vacated the sentencing court's journal entry requirement of lifetime postrelease supervision, holding (1) the majority of Defendant's claims on appeal either lacked merit or were not properly preserved for appeal; and (2) the sentencing court erred in entering a journal entry that did not reflect the punishment imposed at the sentencing hearing and instead recording an illegal punishment of lifetime postrelease supervision. Remanded.
