        "text": "Mr. JUSTICE STOUDER\ndelivered the opinion of the court:\nAfter the Illinois Supreme Court in People v. Jackson (1981), 84 Ill. 2d 350, reversed our decision in People v. Jackson (1980), 84 Ill. App. 3d 172, the cause was remanded to this court for consideration of an alleged error not considered in our previous decision.\nAs an additional assignment of error the defendant claims the sentences imposed are excessive.\nDefendant was found guilty of two counts of armed robbery and one count of aggravated kidnapping by a jury in the Will County circuit court and sentenced to three concurrent 12-year terms. Defendant argues the sentences imposed are well in excess of the statutory m\u00ednimums provided for the offenses and the sentences fail to take into account the rehabilitative potential of the defendant as required by the Illinois Constitution of 1970, article 1, section 2.\nWe have reviewed the evidence together with the observations of the trial judge and conclude that all of the aggravating and mitigating factors were considered. Weight to be given the factors is the function of the trial court,, and notwithstanding the defendant\u2019s assertion that the factors were improperly weighed by the trial court, we find no reason for disturbing the evaluation of the factors made by the trial court and the imposition of sentences pursuant thereto.\nFor the foregoing reasons the judgments of the circuit court of Will County are affirmed.\nJudgments affirmed.\nALLOY and BARRY, JJ., concur.",
