We note the cases cited by defendant in which sentences were reduced, but such cases are not completely analogous since the defendant in those cases had no prior criminal record. People v. Irons (5th Dist. 1974), 20 Ill. App.3d 125, 312 N.E.2d 664; People v. Harris (5th Dist. 1971), 1 Ill. App.3d 22, 272 N.E.2d 403; People v. Jordan (5th Dist. 1971), 133 Ill. App.2d 893, 272 N.E.2d 429; People v. Jarvis (3rd Dist. 1974), 24 Ill. App.3d 905, 324 N.E.2d 738. On our review of the record, we do not believe we would be justified in finding that the trial court abused its discretion in determining on the facts in the record that the concurrent minimum terms of 8 years should be imposed in this case.
We believe that the directives of Supreme Court Rule 401 were amply fulfilled. (See People v. Jordan, 133 Ill. App.2d 893, 272 N.E.2d 429.) The defendant argues, however, that in addition to the statutory guidelines the trial court was under a duty to comply with the directives contained in Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238, 23 L.Ed.2d 274, 89 S.Ct. 1709.
( People v. Moore, (Ill.App.2d), 272 N.E.2d 270.) As a guideline in implementing this policy it has been held that in setting the maximum and minimum sentence the seriousness of the crime and the possibilities of rehabilitation should be considered. ( People v. Jordan, (Ill.App.2d), 272 N.E.2d 429.) In this regard, it should be noted that ch. 38, sec. 9-2(c), Ill. Rev. Stat. authorizes a maximum sentence of 20 years for voluntary manslaughter.
