Real Sentencing
- A Glen Ellyn man was sentenced to 23 years in prison for the armed robbery of a convenience store in Carol Stream more than three years ago, DuPage County prosecutors said Thursday.
Johnny Holmes, 26, of the 300 block of Duane Street, had been found guilty at a trial in January of armed robbery and armed violence.
Authorities say Holmes, who was armed with a pistol, and a co-defendant had entered a 7-Eleven store on Geneva Road about 10:15 p.m. on Jan. 26, 2015, and robbed the clerk. Police officers spotted Holmes walking near the store a short time later, and they say he fled when officers tried to speak to him.
The officers apprehended Holmes and began an investigation that resulted in the charges. He had been in custody, held in lieu of $500,000 bail, since his arrest.
Now that's a good sentence.

Lil Kim would’ve settled on time served.
I live in the burbs after retiring... that 7-11 is constantly getting robbed.. one in Hanover park too
A man sent to prison where he will be unable to support and care for his family.
They mean business in Dupage-- it's almost to say guilty on arrival . What would had happened if this transpired in Chicago
Armed robbers are just a short hair away from being killers. This should be a standard sentence for an armed robber.
Man, you don't get 23 years in cook county for homicide.
Damn!
Speaking of Kim Foxx's office, last week I had a AGG UUW charges rejected by felony review based on... wait for it... PROSECUTORIAL DISCRETION. I guess it's ok to ride around with the gun in the car as long as you promise not to shoot anyone...!
Soon to appear crack pipe bumpin'
Bird of Illogic argumentation against this sentence:
"DuPage County is racist!
They be needin' to arrest as many whites and Asians
as they do blacks and Hispanics to "prove" they
ain't racist!"
Or some similar such hair-on-fire utterances...
The Bird of Illogic flies faster and faster in an ever tightening
circle until it disappears into it's own asshole.
>Flash! - POOT!<
Good sentence indeed, SCC.
Du-Page, Du-Page, Du-Page!
That's how to set bail and run a jail.
It keeps the hard core criminals off
the streets and sends a message to
their cohorts.
We'll never know much crime has migrated
into Chicago because of the catch & release
program and the joke jail. It's almost like a menu.
Age, color, and severity of crime all get factored in.
In Chicago, the people of color in The System are on
a personal crusade to reverse the wrongs of 200 years,
which is not only impossible, it's illegal.
No ankle bracelet? Or boot camp? So there are real courts in this god forsaken State..
The way Cook Counties crime continues and NO ONE ever gets penalized for their actions, just maybe the public may begin to realize that assholes out of Cook County Get serious Jail Time, may start realizing that its not the police but our Justice System,....I know its alot to ask for but at least we can hope. Time to start bashing FOXX
If Chicago wants to tear down the projects and send the tenants to DuPage and Cook County want to give a revolving door to felons this is DuPage Counties way of saying "no thank you" If the felons keep visiting River North Lincoln Park and Boys Town the revolving door may have to stop. It's all about elections and nothing to do with criminal justice.
Gee....Ya think the collar counties laugh their asses off at Crook Co. and Foxx????. I sure would!!!!!!!!!!
Less than a year left Dupage
Once Kwame is sworn in at Atty General in January, the crook county "catch and release: program is going to be rolled out statewide.
Sad times
What about his babies, who’s finna be taking care of them, he was just funnin.
Remember, outside Cook county folks get time.
A six month sentence behind bars for a DUI is common in Dupage.
Maybe Kim should do some ojt in dupage. Can't have enough training.
First time car highjacker that threw out old couple and took car got 33 years from Judge Kinsella in DuPage no one hurt. They don't screw around
I wonder what would happen if thousands of people hounded Foxx, Dart and Rauner on social media? Everyone calling them out on their BS and failures.
It's not Crook County, that's why!
from the Tribune
"... according to Aurora police. Carlos Nunez, 56, was charged with first-degree murder, police said in a Facebook post...."
Who needs newspapers- put it all on Facebook!

I can hear the powder puffs yelling now...."We need more laws against guns...., the laws we now have don't work...." assholes.
Section 8 is killing the west suburbs. The area on Roosevelt Rd. in Glen Ellyn is a shithole of Section 8 apartments. Very Very Very Sad.
In Illinois you are supposed to get 6 years for the robbery and then 15 more for the gun.
Now, if your are a juvenile in Cook Co. you get probation. That's not sarcasm. That's 100% true, maybe not in all cases but in some.

Yeah, I'm in tears thinking of his baby mommas and his many sprogs. How are they going to survive if he's not able to rob innocent people of their hard earned money? Oh the humanity.
Appears that DuPage doesn't look for excuses to turn a shitbag loose on its citizens.
J.J.
In Cook county all i have to say is FOLLOW THE MONEY. Nobody in jails nobody sent there what a savings.
DuPage County----Trump supporters.
Cook County------Hillary supporters.

All excellent comments. Trust in President Trump. Chicago will not be lost.
If President Trump can end the Korean War he can and will very soon save Chicago.
