It is the defendant's burden to produce a record from which a rational comparison of sentences can be made. ( People v. Gangestad (1982), 105 Ill. App.3d 774; People v. Holman (1976), 43 Ill. App.3d 56; People v. Hansen (1971), 132 Ill. App.2d 911; People v. Haynes (1971), 132 Ill. App.2d 130.) Because he has failed to do this, we cannot determine, as we must, whether the trial court abused its discretion in imposing the sentence.
( People v. Holman (1976), 43 Ill. App.3d 56, 61, 356 N.E.2d 1115, 1118.) However, a defendant who contends that fundamental fairness requires a reduction of a disparate sentence has the burden to produce a record from which a rational comparison can be made. ( People v. Hansen (1971), 132 Ill. App.2d 911, 914, 270 N.E.2d 137, 139.) First of all, we note that defendant has failed to include in the record on appeal, or to account for the absence of, transcripts of his co-defendants' guilty pleas and sentencing hearings.
( People v. Henne (1973), 10 Ill. App.3d 179.) However, one who contends that fundamental fairness requires reduction of a disparate sentence has the burden to produce a record from which a rational comparison can be made. ( People v. Hansen, (1971), 132 Ill. App.2d 911; People v. Haynes (1971), 132 Ill. App.2d 130.) Though defendants have filed a supplemental record containing the co-indictee's conviction record, they have not provided, nor have they accounted for their failure to provide, this court with such records as the co-indictee's guilty plea hearing, sentencing hearing, or the mittimus for his conviction and sentence. We therefore find that defendants have not carried their burden of presenting a sufficient record from which a rational comparison of the sentences can be made.
There is no record of Darwin's hearing before us and, therefore, defendants have not sustained their burden of presenting a sufficient basis from which the sentences may be compared. (See People v. Haynes (1971), 266 N.E.2d 172, 174; People v. Hansen (1971), 132 Ill. App.2d. See also, People v. Whittington (1970), 265 N.E.2d 679, 681.
