|
Overview: Fry hearing on luminol testing was not required as such testing was not novelty and was universally accepted as presumptive test for blood. Evidence of alleged prior bad acts, physical abuse of victim, was admissible to show criminal intent. Error in admission of victim's testimonial statements to co-worker was harmless given overwhelming evidence.

|
Overview: Conviction for violation of order of protection under 720 Ill. Comp. Stat. Ann. 5/12-30 was reversed as order was ambiguous; order was unclear whether it prohibited defendant from being on property or only from being inside house. As defendant was convicted under criminal statute and punished under statutory code, principle of lenity applied.

|
Overview: Cannabis found in home and car was more prejudicial than probative, but error was harmless as defendant was not unfairly prejudiced by admission. Finding of recklessness for reckless homicide charge was amply supported by, inter alia, scientific evidence of staggering amount of THC that remained in defendant's system eight hours after incident.

People v. McDonald, No. 1-03-1283,
APPELLATE COURT OF ILLINOIS, FIRST DISTRICT, FIRST DIVISION, June 30, 2006, Decided , June 30, 2006, Modified Opinion Filed
View this case - free
|
Overview: Reversing defendant's conviction of aggravated robbery, an uncharged offense, was palpably erroneous; his conviction was reinstated. Aggravated robbery was not lesser included offense of armed robbery, but defendant invited court's error by arguing that evidence supported only aggravated robbery. He was not allowed to take advantage of such error.

People v. Scott, No. 1-04-2019,
APPELLATE COURT OF ILLINOIS, FIRST DISTRICT, FOURTH DIVISION, June 30, 2006, Decided , June 30, 2006, Opinion Filed
View this case - free
|
Overview: Trial court erred in denying defendant's motion to suppress statements, as his arrest for the murder in question was unlawful, and the techniques used by the police to elicit defendant's statements amounted to an exploitation of defendant's illegal detention, and thus the statements were not sufficiently attenuated from the illegal arrest.
