People v. Cook

1 Citing case

  1. People v. Treece

    159 Ill. App. 3d 397 (Ill. App. Ct. 1987)   Cited 24 times
    Holding that an order requiring an accused to submit, pursuant to Rule 413, to the taking of blood, hair, and other materials of the body is appropriate where probable cause is shown to justify such an order

    Even considering defendant's argument, it has no merit. Defendant cites People v. Cook (1983), 112 Ill. App.3d 621, 445 N.E.2d 824, and People v. Steg (1966), 69 Ill. App.2d 188, 215 N.E.2d 854, for the proposition that fundamental fairness and respect for the law require that defendants similarly situated not receive grossly disparate sentences. In those cases, however, the defendants challenging their sentences had not had any greater participation in the crime than their codefendants who received lighter sentences.
