APPEAL FROM THE

COOK COUNTY.
HONORABLE
DWIGHT MCKAY,
JUDGE PRESIDING.
ee me ee ee ee ee ee eet ee”
delivered the opinion of
Michael Evans, appeals
from his conviction after a bench trial
of three counts
of reckless homicide.
App. 3
(Il11.Rev.Stat. 1981, ch. 38, par.
9-3(a).) The sentence imposed was 30
months probation with the special
condition that defendant serve the first
six months, as well as the weekends of
the final 90 days, in the Cook County
Department cof Corrections. Defendant
contends on review that he was not proved
guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, and
that the trial court abused its
discretion in imposing the special
condition of his probation,
At approximately 9:30 p.m. on March
24, 1982, Catherine Campbell was waiting
in her Ford van for the traffic light to
change at the intersection of 159th and
Torrence Avenue in Calumet City,
Illinois. Campbell's vehicle was facing
north, occupying the east-center lane of
App. 4
northbound Torrence Avenue. The part of
Torrence Avenue at which she was stopped,
immediately south of the intersection,
consists of four lanes. There is a lane
for turning left onto 159th Street so as
to proceed west; there are two center
lanes for continuing north on Torrence
Avenue; and there is a fourth lane for
either turning right onto 159th Street so
as to proceed east, or for continuing
north and eventually merging with the
east-center lane of Torrence Avenue.
While Campbell waited for the
traffic light to turn green, she noticed
a blue Plymouth automobile pull up
immediately next to her in the
west-center, northbound lane of Torrence :
Avenue. This car, containing four
people, was being driven by defendant.
App. 5
At that same time, Campbell observed a
white Plymouth automobile pull up
immediately next to her on the other side
of her van, occupying what was the fourth
or far east lane of northbound Torrence
Avenue. This vehicle, also containing
four people, was being driven by the
codefendant in the trial below, John
Best. Just before the traffic signal
changed green, Campbell noticed that both
cars on each side of her were inching
forward to a point beyond the painted
traffic line delineating the southern
boundary of the intersection. As soon as
the light turned green, the vehicles
driven by defendant and Best accelerated
at a high rate of speed. Campbell
accelerated at a slower rate of speed
but, within seconds, she had to
cence alate aia ait aii tn
App. 6
"back-off" since Best immediately began
to merge into the east-center lane as he
drove through the intersection heading
north.
Campbell observed the two cars
proceed north up Torrence Avenue,
side-by-side, toward Michigan City
road.! The particular stretch of road
in which defendant and Best were driving
that night was asphalt-paved and “a
little bumpy.” The area itself was
characterized as very dark at the time in
question. According to two Calumet City
police officers, on March 24, 1982 the
posted speed limit along that portion of
Torrence Avenue was either 40 or 45 miles
IMichigan City Road transects Torrence
Avenue at a point approximately one mile
north of 159th Street.

App. 7
per hour. Campbell estimated that the
speeds of the two cars driving ahead of
her were between 65 and 70 miles per
hour; whereas, Diane Dougall, a passenger
in defendant's car, estimated that
defendant's speed reached "55, or maybe
more.”
Since it was night, Campbell
eventually lost sight of both vehicles
except for their taillights. Soon
thereafter, by viewing the position of
the respective taillights of each car
less than one-half of a mile away, she
noticed that defendant's vehicle veered
over into the lane occupied by Best's
car. About three or four seconds later,
as Campbell arrived “to abouts where the
tail lights [sic] went into one lane,”
she observed Best's car smoking as it
App. 8
appeared to be hooked to the green car in
the southbound lanes of Torrence Avenue,
approximately one-half mile north of
159th Street.
George Zorich was driving south on
Torrence Avenue at approximately 9:30
p.m. on March 24, 1982. At some point
south of Michigan City Road, he saw
Best's car come across from the
northbound lanes of Torrence Avenue
directly into the southbound lanes and
collide with a blue Chevrolet, being
driven by Sherry Kassee, as it was
proceeding south approximately four car
lengths “in front of Zorich. Following
the collision with Kassee's car, Best's
automobile became airborne and struck
Zorich's vehicle on the hood. Another
car, heading south on Torrence Avenue,
App. 9
then collided with Zorich's vehicle from
behind.
Officer Peter Miller of the Calumet
City police department was dispatched to
the scene of the accident that night.
Upon his arrival, he observed that
Kassee's car, which faced west across the
innermost southbound lane of Torrence
Avenue, had very heavy rear-end damage.
He then saw that Best's vehicle, which
faced south in the outermost southbound
lane of Torrence Avenue, had very heavy
rear-end and right side damage. The car
left skid marks, measuring 150 feet in
length, which extended across the median
from the northbound lanes into the
southbound lanes of Torrence Avenue. As
Officer Miller approached Best's vehicle
he observed the body of Patricia Koerner,
App. 10
who had been riding as a passenger in the
car, pinned in the back seat. The
officer thereafter found the body of
Ronald Gibbs, another passenger in the
Best vehicle, lying in a wooded area
nearby. Sherry Kassee also died as a
result of the injuries sustained when her
car was struck by Best's vehicle.
An April 1982 grand jury charged
defendant and John Best each with three
counts of reckless homicide. Following a
joint bench trial, the trial court found
both offenders guilty as charged.
Defendant's culpability was premised on
the court's belief that "[defendant]
blocked the progress forward of the Best
vehicle *** [and] that Best had to take
evative action of some kind.” At the
sentencing hearing, following arguments
App. 11
presented in aggravation and mitigation,
the trial judge sentenced codefendent
Best to a term of 30 months probation
under the jurisdiction of the Adult
Probation Department of Cook County. A
special condition of periodic
imprisonment was imposed with the option
of serving such term in the Lake County,
Indiana jail if it could be arranged.2
Regarding defendant, the court first
ordered him to surrender his driver's
license so that it could be forwarded to
2The exact length of Best's incarceration
is uncertain since page 625 of the record
is missing and the half-sheet
incorporated into this record only refers
to the sentencing order entered against
defendant. The trial court indicated
that it could possibly order revocation
of Best's Illinois driving privileges;
however, due to the incomplete transcript
of proceedings, it is not clear if the
judge's observation was carried out.
App. 12
the Illinois Secretary of State for
revocation. Defendant was then ordered
to serve 30 months probation under the
jurisdiction of the Adult Probation
Department of Cook County. As a special
condition, defendant was further ordered
to serve the first six months, as well as
the weekends of the final 90 days, of the
probation period in the Cook County
Department of Corrections. From the
orders of conviction and sentence,
defendant now appeals.
I.
Initially, defendant argues that the
evidence adduced at the instant trial
failed to establish his guilt beyond a
reasonable doubt. We disagree.
In Illinois, a person commits
reckless homicide if, while driving a
App. 13
motor vehicle, he unintentionally kills
an individual and the acts which caused
death are performed recklessly so as to
create a likelihood of death or great
bodily harm to some person.
(I11.Rev.Stat. 1981, ch. 38, par.
9-3(a).) "A person acts recklessly in
this regard when he consciously
disregards a substantial and an
unjustifiable risk that his acts are such
as are likely to cause death or great
bodily harm to some individual and where
such disregard constitutes a gross
deviation from the standard of care which
a reasonable person would exercise in
such a situation." (People v. Bonzi (2nd
Dist. 1978), 65 I11.App.3d 927, 931, 382
N.E.2d 1300, appeal denied (1979), 74
I11.2d 587; see generally, 1I11.Rev.Stat.
App. 14
1981, ch. 38, par. 4-6.) Criminal
liability attaches only to acts of such a
reckless or wanton character as to be
indicative of an utter disregard for the
safety of others under circumstances
likely to result in injury. (People v.
Petersen (4th Dist. 1982), 110 I11.App.3d
647, 659, 442 N.E.2d 941.) The reckless
conduct must be wilful and wanton.
People v. LaCombe (4th Dist. 1982), 104
I11.App.3d 66, 72, 432 N.E.2d 672, appeal
denied, 91 I11.2d 576.
It is defendant's position that the
evidence proffered by the State failed to
prove that his conduct was the actual and
legal cause of the offense for which he
was charged and convicted. It is, of
course, clear that defendant's Plymouth
automobile was not directly involved in
App. 15
the multi-vehicle collision which
resulted in three fatalities on the night
of March 24, 1982. Indeed, defendant's
overt acts at the time in question were
limited to operating his car at an
excessive rate of speed, and veering into
the east lane of northbound Torrence
Avenue in front of Best's car. In order
to secure defendant's reckless homicide
conviction, it was therefore necessary
for the State to prove that he was
legally accountable for the deaths of
the three motorists. One may be held
accountable for the acts of another
without having actively participated in
the overt act. (People v. Ray (5th
Dist. 1979), 80 I11.App.3d 151, 156, 399
N.E.2d 977, appeal denied (1980), 81
I11.2d 586.) We view the present record
App. 16
as adequate to support defendant's
conviction under the complicity theory.
To bring an accused within the
purview of the Illinois accountability
statute, the prosecution-must establish,
beyond a reasonable doubt, that (1)
either before or during the commission of
an offense, (2) with the intent to
promote or facilitate the commission of
an offense, (3) the defendant solicited,
aided, abetted or attempted to aid
another person in the planning or
commission of an offense. I11.Rev.Stat.
1981, ch. 38, par. 5-2(c); People v.
Underwood (ist Dist. 1982), 108
Ill.App.3d 846, 851, 439 N.E.2d 1080,
appeal denied, 91 I11.2d 579.
Regarding the case at bar, the
evidence clearly showed that on the night
App. 17
of March 24, 1982, defendant and John
Best, two young drivers, engaged in what
is commonly known as street drag racing.
Defendant attempted to refute this fact
by claiming that he proceeded north on
Torrence Avenue from the 159th Street
intersection at a normal speed, and that
his tires screeched as he accelerated
because he disengaged the clutch after
revving the engine in an effort to raise
oil pressure. Catherine Campbell,
however, testified that while she was
waiting at the aforesaid intersection at
the time defendant and Best pulled their
cars up along each side of her, she
noticed that both vehicles were inching
forward to a pcint beyond the painted
traffic line which represented the
southern boundary of the intersection.
App. 18
As soon as the traffic signal turned
green, Campbell observed defendant and |
Best's vehicles accelerate at a high
rate of speed. In corroboration, Diane
Dougall, who was seated in the rear of
defendant's car that night testified that
defendant's acceleration up Torrence
Avenue in the direction of Michigan City
Road caused her to be pushed back into
her seat.
Although the posted speed limit on
the relevant stretch of road was either
40 or 45 miles per hours, Campbell, who
had for three years assisted her husband,
a professional auto racer, estimated that
the speed of the two cars driving ahead
of her on the dark, bumpy road was |
between 65 and 70 miles per hour. It was
Dougall's estimation that defendant's
App. 19
vehicle reached a speed of "55, maybe
more."
We find that this testimonial
evidence established, without question,
that defendant was one of two pueriie
young men bent on an illegal act which
was certainly reckless and dangerous in
character and which would require the use
of force, albeit mechanical, that could
very well result in the unlawful taking
of a human life. As such, we are of the
opinion that defendant was legally
accountable for the deaths of Patricia
Koerner, Sherry Kassee an@ Ronald Gibbs.
Defendant correctly points out that
excessive speed, by itself, is not always
sufficient to sustain a conviction for
reckless homicide. (See, People v.
Ziegler (1st Dist. 1979), 78 I11.App.3d
App. 20
490, 496, 396 N.E.2d 1160, appeal denied
(1980), 79 I111.2d 629.) “However, a
charge of reckless homicide may be
justified by a combination of excessive
speed and other circumstances which would
indicate a conscious disregard of a
substantial risk likely to cause death or
great bodily harm to others, and the
circumstances are such that a reasonable
person wovld act differently under the
same situation.” Bonzi, 65 1I11.App.3d at
931-32.
Here, the indicium of conscious
disregard of substantial risk was
defendant's act of maneuvering his motor
vehicle as he raced north along Torrence
Avenue toward Michigan City Road. Based
upon the testimony of Campbell and
Dougall, the trial court reasonably
a a
App. 21
inferred that when defendant veered over
into the east lane of northbound Torrence
Avenue, he changed lanes in such a
reckless and dangerous manner so as to
cut off Best's automobile. It was thus
perfectly logical and proper for the
court to deduce that Best was forced to
take the evasive action which resulted in
the tragic vehicular collision.
We will not substitute our judgment
for that of the trial court on questions
involving witness credibility and
evidentiary inferences, for the law
commits to the trier of fact the
determination of such issues. (People
v. Akis (1976), 63 I11.2d 296, 298, 374
N.E.2d 73; People v. Ahern (1st Dist.
1983), 119 I1ll.App.3d 532, 536, 456
N.E.2d 852.) "(T] hat determination will
App. 22.
not be reversed unless the evidence is
so improbable as to create a reasonable
doubt of defendant's guilt [citation] .”
People v. Davis (1983), 95 I11.2d 1, 27,
447 N.E.2d 353.
The defendant's right to drive
carried with it the correlative duty to
refrain from reckless or wanton driving
which utterly disregarded the safety of
others. The defendant's driving
certainly did not reach the aforesaid
standard. In light of defendant's utter
disregard for the lives of other
motorists, the lives of his three
passengers and his own life as well, we
conclude that the evidence adduced at
the instant trial was more than
sufficient to estabiish defendant's legal 1
accountability for the three senseless :
App. 23
fatalities. Thus the evidence was
sufficient to establish defendant's guilt
beyond a reasonable doubt.
Il.
The next issue for resolution
concerns the propriety of that part of
the trial court's sentencing order
imposing the special condition that
defendant serve the first six months, as
well as the weekends of the final 90
days, of his probationary period in the
Cook County Department of Corrections.
A.
Defendant contends that the special
condition of his probation was not
warranted in light of mitigative
circumstances.
Our supreme court has firmly
established that the detemination of a
App. 24
sentence is a matter of judicial
discretion and that, absent an abuse of
this discretion, the sentence imposed by
the trial judge may not be altered upon
review. (People v. Willingham (1982), 89
T11.2d 352, 364, 432 N.E.2d 861; People
ve. Cox (1980), 82 111.2d 268, 275, 412
N.E.2d 541.) It is not our function to
serve as a sentencing court; thus, "[a]
sentence imposed within the statutory
limits will not be reduced merely because
we, aS a reviewing court, might have
imposed a different punishment." People
v. Holloway (1st Dist. 1983), 119
I1l.App.3d 1014, 1022, 457 N.E.2d 466,
Citing People v. Perruguet (1977), 68
T11.2d 149, 156, 368 N.E.2d 882.
Reckless homicide is a Class 4
felony. (111.Rev.Stat. 1981, ch. 38,
~ re cell
App. 25
par. 9-3(b)(2).) The permissible
sentence ranges from a one to three-year
term of inprisonment. (I11.Rev.Stat.
1981, ch. 38, par. 1005-8-1(a)(7).) The
maximum probationary period for the
commission of a Class 4 felony is 30
months. (I11.Rev.Stat. 1981, ch. 38, par
1005-6-2(b)(2).) An offender, as a
condition of his probation, can be
sentenced to a term of incarceration not
to exceed six months. (I111.Rev.Stat.
1981, ch. 38, par. 1005-6-3(d).)
Consequently, it is clear that the trial
judge did not transcend the prescribed
statutory framework by requiring that
defendant be imprisoned during the first
six months of his probationary period.
It is suggested that the lower court
was unconcerned with defendant's
App. 26
rehabilitative potential in that it
"arbitrarily" imposed the special
condition of his probation. To the
contrary, however, we discern careful
consideration by the court of defendant's
personal traits, his age, his educational
as well as employment background, his
family situation, and his lack of a
juvenile delinquency record. Indeed, the
imposition of the probationary period
itself, as opposed to a sentence of a one
to three-year term of incarceration, is
clearly indicative of the court's regard
as "to the nature and circumstance of the
offense, and to the history, character
and condition of the offender***,"
(I11.Rev.Stat. 1981, ch. 38, par.
1005-6-1(a).) Further, the sentencing
judge provided defendant's trial lawyer
ee
snmaieitcn ea alam al
OO Ae"
Se ee i onl Te
App. 27
with ample opportunity, which counsel
fully utilized, for argument in
mitigation. Although the record evinces
several significant mitigative
circumstances, the cumulative import of
such attendant conditions is in no way
conclusive. This is because
"rehabilitation and the seriousness of
the offense are to be accorded equal
weight in fixing punishment, and the
prime responsibility for striking the
proper balance between the two factors
rests with the trial court." People v.
Crosser (2nd Dist. 1983), 117 I11.App.3d
24, 32, 452 N.E.2d 857.
Defendant's citation of error
regarding the disparity between his
sentence and codefendant Best's sentence
App. 28 |
must similarly fail.3 "(MJere disparity
in sentences, without more, does not
warrant reduction of the greater sentence
ed hem Rl, a cast Meh aN Bd Ek 8S te
by a reviewing court." (People v. Mick
(5th Dist. 1980), 86 I11.App.3d 1022,
1028, 408 N.E.2d 1079.) Moreover, in
Illinois, a trial court's determination
of the punishment to be imposed involves
consideration of the subjective
circumstances presented in each
individual case, i.e., the defendant's
mentality and general moral character,
his abnormal or subnormal tendencies, and
3It is defendant's averment that,
notwithstanding the incomplete transcript
of record before this court, Best's
sentence of probation was conditioned
only on periodic imprisonment, as opposed
to straight-time incarceration, during
the first six months of his 30-month
probationary period.

App. 29
his natural inclination or aversion to
commit crime. People v. Dukett (1974),
56 I11.2d 432, 452, 308 N.E.2d 590,
cert. denied, 419 U.S. 965; People v.
Reese (1st Dist. 1984), 121 I11.App.3d
977, 989, _N.E.2d __.
At defendant's sentencing hearing,
the State proffered evidence that since
August 18, 1982, the date on which
judgment of conviction was entered,
defendant hd been observed speeding and
driving erratically through a residential
area on a number of occasions. In
addition to this aggravating factor
indicative of a lack of remorse, the
trial court also considered "that there
is a greater degree of culpability here
in the driving of Evans as opposed to the
driving of Best. And it was my finding,
App. 30
and still is, that the manner in which
Evans drove compelled Best to do whatever
he had to do to avoid a collision with
Evans."
In essence, Our review of the record
reveals that, taken separately, the two
incarceration requirements of defendant's
special probationary condition were each
based upon the unique objective and
subjective circumstances presented in
this case. Defendant argues that such
imprisonment will have a disruptive
effect on his lifestyle; we feel it
unnecessary to depict the disruption, if
not sheer anguish, that has pervaded the
lifestyles of the victims' families since
the night of March 24, 1982.
App. 31
B.
The final claim of error for review
concerns defendant's contention that
section 1005-7-1(c) of the Unified Code
of Corrections (Ill.Rev.Stat. 1981, ch.
38, par. 1005-7-1(c)) precludes six
months incarceration in conjunction with
a term of periodic imprisonment.
Section 1005-7-1(c) provides in
pertinent part that: "The court shall
not impose a sentence of periodic
imprisonment if it imposes a sentence of
imprisonment upon the deferdant in excess
of 30 days." The sentence here is six
months straight time as a condition of
defendant's probation was, as previously
stated, permissible under the sentencing
provisions of the Unified Code of
Corrections (Il1l.Rev.Stat. 1981, ch. 38,
par. 1005-6-3(d).) Alternatively, the
App. 32
trial court could have ordered the
special condition that defendant serve up
to 18 months periodic imprisonment.
(Il1.Rev.Stat. 1981, ch. 38, par.
1\005-7-1(d).) However, as the State
concedes, “[ilf straight time of more
than 30 days as a condition of
probation is imposed, [the court] cannot
impose in addition any periodic
imprisonment." People v. McMullen (4th
Dist. 1980), 88 I1ll.App.3d 611, 615, 410
N.E.2d 1174.
The trial court could not impose
six months straight time together with 90
days periodic imprisonment. We believe
the trial court should make the
determination of which special condition
should be imposed. We therefore vacate
the special condition of defendant's
er ae
App. 33
probation and remand this cause for
resentencing within the prescribed
Statutory framework.
IIl.
Under the authority of I11.Rev.Stat.
1983, ch. 53, par. 8 and People v.
Nicholls (1978), 71 I11.2d 166, 374
N.E.2d 194, we assess defendant $50 in
costs for the State's defense of this
appeal, and hereby incorporate it as part
of this judgment. We deny the State's
request for an additional $25 for oral
argument. This denial is predicated on
our interpretations of the per diem
provision of the statute ("For each day
actually employed in the trial of a case,
$25") as referring to an actual trial in
the circuit court, not to an oral
argument on appeal.
App. 34
For the reasons set out herein, the
judgment of this conviction is affirmed,
the sentending order is vacated in part,
and this cause is remanded to the Circuit
Court of Cook County for resentencing.
