Description
Petitioner-appellant Cornes pled guilty in 1953 and 1954 to two charges of armed robbery and one charge of rape. He was sentenced to three consecutive terms, with the last term to be an indeterminate sentence of 10 years to life on one of the armed robbery convictions. While on parole for that indeterminate sentence, Cornes was charged in 1977 with rape, deviate sexual assault, and intimidation. He was sentenced on those charges to 60 years, 60 years, and 10 years respectively, with those sentences to be served concurrently. The concurrent determinative sentences of 60 years were to be served consecutive to the indeterminate 10 years to life sentence from the armed robbery conviction. Pursuant to Ill. Rev. Stat., Ch. 38 para. 1005-8-4, the indeterminate sentence of 10 years to life was aggregated with the concurrent determinative sentences of 60 years to form an indeterminate sentence of 70 years to life. Cornes challenged that aggregation on a number of constitutional grounds.
