JUSTICE LYTTON, specially concurring: I concur with the analysis of the majority in section I of the opinion. I write this special concurrence regarding section II concerning the constitutional challenge to the truth-in-sentencing statute. I specially concur solely for purposes of stare decisis. However, I disagree with the result and reasoning of the court’s decision on the truth-in-sentencing issue for the reasons stated in my dissent in People v. Watford, 294 Ill. App. 3d 462, 690 N.E.2d 1009 (1997).
