voluntary, the said plea was accepted by the court and is now entered ofrecord as the plea herein ofdefendant.

Thereuponajury was duly selected, impaneled and sworn, who having heard the indictmentpresented and

defendant's pleathereto, and having heard the evidence submitted, and, having been dulycharged bythe court as

to their duty to determine the guilt or innocence ofthe defendant, and afterhaving heardthe arguments of

counsel retired incharge ofthe proper officer to consider their verdict. Afterward thejurywas brought into

open court by the proper officer, defendant and his counsel being present, and in due form oflaw returned into

open court the above shownverdict which wasreceived and accepted bythe court, and is here and now entered

upon the minutes ofthe court.

Thereupon, the defendant having previously elected to have punishment assessed by thejury, thejury heard

evidence related to the question of punishment. Thereafter, thejury retired to consider such question, and,

after having deliberated, thejury was brought back into open court by the proper officer, the defendant,

defendant's attorney, and the State's attorney being present, and being asked if thejury had agreed upon a

verdict, the jury answered it had, and returned to the Court their verdict as shown above. Said verdict was

read aloud, received by the Court, and is now entered upon the minutes of the Court.

When it is shown above thedefendant is guilty ofthe offense set forth above, it is considered by the court

that said defendant is adjudged to be guilty of the offense set forth above and that defendant committed the

itsfinding as todeadly weapon as set forth above based upon the jury's verdict.

When it isshown above that restitution has beenordered but the courtdetermines that the inclusion of the

victim's name and address inthe judgment is not in the best interest ofthe victim the person oragency whose

name and address is setout in this judgment will accept and forward the restitution payments to the victim.

And when it isshown below that payment of the costs of legal services provided to the defendant in this

cause has beenordered, the court finds that the defendant hasthe financial resources to enable the defendant

to offset said costs in the amount ordered.

Thereupon the said defendant was asked by the court whether he had anything to say why said sentence

should not be pronounced against him and he answered nothing in bar thereof, and it appearing to the court

that the defendant is mentally competent and understanding ofthe proceedings, the Court proceeded to

pronounce sentence upon said defendant.

Itis therefore, considered and ordered by the court in the presence ofdefendant and his attorney, that said

judgment as set forth above is hereby in all things approved and confirmed, and that defendant, who has been

adjudged guilty ofthe above named offense, as shown above, and whose punishment has been assessed as
