View this case - free  

Overview: Trial court did not err in its summary dismissal of defendant's successive petition because he failed to show he was prevented by an objective external factor from presenting his claims regarding shackling at trial in an earlier proceeding; thus he waived right to bring claim under 725 Ill. Comp. Stat. 5/122-3 (2002) of Post-Conviction Hearing Act.

People v. Thornton, No. 2-04-0565, APPELLATE COURT OF ILLINOIS, SECOND DISTRICT, February 16, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's conviction was reversed because the record failed to establish that he validly waived his right to a jury trial; the trial court's mere references to a bench trial made in defendant's presence, in the context of conversations about other matters, did not equate to a "discussion" of a jury waiver in open court.
