Description
The defendant appeals from convictions for three counts of murder and one count of aggravated battery. He was sentenced to 30 years' imprisonment for each of the three counts of murder and to 5 years' imprisonment for aggravated battery, the sentences to run concurrently. It is undisputed that all of these convictions arose from the same act. People v. King (1977), 66 Ill.2d 551, 363 N.E.2d 838. On August 12, 1979, at about 1:30 a.m., 26-year-old Blair Parnham went through a floor-to-ceiling plate glass window at the Nashville North Tavern in East Peoria. A triangular piece of glass, several inches in length, penetrated his left neck-shoulder region from above, severing his carotid artery, bronchus, pulmonary artery, and aorta, and penetrating his lung and heart, causing him to bleed to death. An examining physician for the coroner's office testified that death probably occurred within 10 seconds of the injury.
