Description
CHIEF JUSTICE BILANDIC delivered the opinion of the court: Following a jury trial in the circuit court of Cook County, defendant, Randy Banks, was convicted of the murder of 16-month-old
Veronica Hurley. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1985, ch. 38, par. 9-1(a)(1).) The jury found defendant eligible for the death penalty based
upon the statutory aggravating factor of murder of an individual under 12 years of age that resulted from exceptionally brutal
or heinous behavior indicative of wanton cruelty. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1985, ch. 38, par. 9-1(b)(7).) The same jury then found
insufficient mitigating factors to preclude the imposition of the death sentence. Accordingly, the trial Judge sentenced defendant
to death.
