[May 22, 2018]
On
May 16, 2018, Associate Judge William Workman sentenced Kawika
Irrelevant, formerly known as David McCray, to 17 years in the
Illinois Department of Corrections with 3 years of mandatory
supervised release to follow. Based upon truth-in-sentencing
provisions, Mr. Irrelevant must serve 85% of the 17 year sentence
before he is eligible for parole consideration.

The case arises out of a Lincoln Police Department investigation in
September of 2016. Using a confidential informant wearing a court
authorized overhear device, Lincoln Police were able to secure evidence
of Kawika Irrelevant, a convicted felon, selling a .38 caliber Rossi
brand revolver and five bullets for $350.00. The crime occurred at 413
Decatur Street in Lincoln.
Based upon Mr. Irrelevant’s prior criminal history, he was charged and
convicted as an Armed Habitual Criminal, a class X felony. On March 27,
2018, Kawika Irrelevant entered into a partially negotiated plea
agreement where he pleaded guilty to the offense and the State’s
Attorney’s Office agreed to cap their sentencing recommendation at 17
years in prison.

“We are very pleased with the Court’s sentence. Our hope is that
such a significant sentence will send a message that the illegal
possession, sale, or use of firearms will be met with a serious
consequence,” stated Logan County State’s Attorney Jonathan Wright.
