The opinion
JUSTICE HOPKINS, dissenting:
As much as I find logic in the analysis of the majority, I must respectfully dissent. In examining People v. Arna, 168 Ill. 2d 107 , it is clear that the dissent of Justice Nickels makes the same logical analysis as does the majority herein. However, Ama clearly holds that the imposition of concurrent sentences is a void sentence when the offenses are committed in a single course of conduct. The two attempted murders by the defendant Summers are clearly part of a single course of conduct in his effort to steal a car. The position of the majority attempting to define the facts otherwise is more imaginative than real, and the plea should be vacated.
