Description
Following a bench trial, defendants, Walter Anderson, a/k/a Walter J. Henderson, and Wendall M. Jackson, a/k/a Mathew Jackson, were found guilty of residential burglary (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1983, ch. 38, par. 19-3(a)), and were each subsequently sentenced under the extended-term statute (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1983, ch. 38, par. 1005-8-2) to 17 years' imprisonment. The defendants appeal from their extended-term sentences. On July 15, 1983, at 2 a.m. the defendants, both 17 years old at the time, were arrested shortly after they broke into the home of Kathleen Wright. Wright, who was 63 years old and blind, testified that she and her 10-year-old grandson were home alone when they were awakened during the early morning hours by the sound of knocking at the front door and later at the back door. The police were summoned. The police arrived but left a short time later after they were unable to find anything amiss. A few minutes after their departure, Wright heard voices and then a loud crash as the front door was being kicked in. Her grandson again called the police and they locked themselves in a bedroom. She heard someone yell ""police"" but stated that she was too terrified to open the door. The defendants were immediately apprehended by police in Wright's home. Wright was visibly shaken when she finally opened the bedroom door for police.
