Mr. JUSTICE CARTER, concurring in part, dissenting in part: I concur with the opinion of the majority that the judgments of the two defendants should be affirmed. I further concur with the disposition as to defendant Robert Young. The majority recognizes the differences in the background and attitude of the two defendants. I believe that this difference is such that defendant Fowler should receive treatment commensurate with his less troublesome background. While I recognize that the Pardon and Parole Board has the power to reduce the maximum sentence, it is my opinion that Fowlers maximum sentence should be reduced by this court pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 615 (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1973, ch. 110A, par. 615) to a term not in excess of 6 years.
