Overview: Dismissal of State's amended 725 Ill. Comp. Stat. Ann. 150/9 forfeiture complaint was error; allegations, inter alia, that claimant carpenter purchased one-way ticket to Seattle with cash within 24 hours of departure and that he provided differing accounts of travel plans, were sufficient to show nexus between $280,020 and illegal drug activity.

|
Overview: Where a bank negotiated numerous checks over a five-year period, the pattern, course, and accumulation of its acts were not relevant as a continuing violation for an association's conversion action. Thus, each discrete act provided a basis for a cause of action with three year limitations period under 810 Ill. Comp. Stat. 5/3-420(a) and 5/3-118(g).

Overview: Defendant's 725 Ill. Comp. Stat. 5/116-3 motion for DNA testing was properly denied as he did not meet the chain of custody requirement, failing to allege with specificity if proper authorities took DNA, when the DNA was received, or mention anything pertaining to its current condition; moreover, § 116-3(b)(1) was not unconstitutional as applied.
