MR. CHIEF JUSTICE UNDERWOOD, specially concurring: While I agree that these judgments and sentences should be affirmed, I regard the question of whether the offenses were “independently motivated” as irrelevant under our statutes relating to prosecution of offenses and sentencing of offenders. My reasons therefor are set forth at length in my dissenting opinions in People v. Whittington, 46 Ill. 2d 405, 410, and in People v. Lerch, 52 Ill. 2d 78, and need not be repeated here. MR. JUSTICE RYAN joins in this special concurrence.
