This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.

D pleaded guilty to solicitation of murder. D was sentenced to 18 years' imprisonment and denied her motion to reconsider the sentence. D appealed, claiming that the sentencing scheme for solicitation of murder violates the proportionate penalties clause of the Illinois Constitution. D maintains that the legislature has impermissibly penalized solicitation of murder more severely than what she claims are the more serious offenses of conspiracy to commit murder and attempted murder.
