JUSTICE HEIPLE

¶1dissenting:

¶2Remandment in this case serves no purpose. The sentence imposed by Judge DeDoncker was perfectly appropriate under the circumstances of the case and reflected due consideration of all proper factors. There is no reason to suppose that any lesser sentence would be or should be imposed merely because a single lesser conviction has been vacated. This is the sort of unnecessary paper shuffling that explains in part the ponderous inefficiency of the appellate process.
