        "text": "JUSTICE GREIMAN\ndelivered the opinion of the court:\nA jury found defendant Sidney Perry guilty of first degree murder for the shooting death of William Yousef, of armed robbery of William Yousef, and of armed robbery of Hani Hamad. The trial court imposed a sentence of natural life in prison without parole for the murder.\nOn direct appeal, defendant raised several issues, including whether his convictions should be reversed because he used psychotropic medication during his trial and did not receive a fitness hearing at that time. We considered this issue under the amended version of section 104\u201421(a) in effect December 31, 1996 (725 ILCS 5/104\u201421(a) (West 1996)), and concluded that reversal was not required in People v. Perry, 292 Ill. App. 3d 705 (1997).\nOn October 6, 1998, the Illinois Supreme Court entered a supervisory order directing this court to vacate its judgment and reconsider it in light of People v. Kinkead, 182 Ill. 2d 316 (1998).\nPursuant to that mandate, we hereby vacate our judgment in case No. 1\u201496\u20140037. As held in Kinkead, we apply the prior version of the psychotropic medication statute (725 ILCS 5/104\u201421(a) (West 1994)). Based on the prior statute, defendant was entitled to a hearing on the issue of his fitness because he was receiving psychotropic drugs at the time of trial in September 1995. Furthermore, we reverse defendant\u2019s convictions because more than three years have passed since the original proceedings and, therefore, a retrospective hearing would be inappropriate. See Kinkead, 182 Ill. 2d at 348 (five years had passed since the original proceedings), citing People v. Neal, 179 Ill. 2d 541, 554 (1997) (\u201cretrospective fitness determinations will normally be inadequate to protect a defendant\u2019s due process rights when more than a year has passed since the original trial and sentencing\u201d). We remand this cause to the circuit court for a new trial. The double jeopardy clause does not preclude a retrial because the reversal is not based on evidentiary insufficiency. E.g., People v. Mink, 141 Ill. 2d 163 (1991).\nReversed and remanded.\nTHEIS and ZWICK, JJ., concur.",
