Overview: A suit facially challenging a city's amending its zoning code to increase tax revenues in certain business districts was properly dismissed under 735 Ill. Comp. Stat.

View this case - free  

Overview: Although trial court properly barred some of patient's expert witnesses from testifying as a sanction pursuant to Ill. Sup. Ct. R. 219 for failing to comply with discovery deadlines, it should not have granted the foot doctor's summary judgment motion in her medical negligence, as her treating physician could still testify as to standard of care.

View this case - free  

Overview: Where defendant was convicted of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver under 720 Ill. Comp. Stat.

View this case - free  

Overview: Trial court abused its discretion in attributing delay period to State and dismissing a DUI charge for a violation of the right to speedy trial under 725 Ill. Comp. Stat. Ann. 5/103-5(b) because defendant was charged with the time naturally associated with the filing of a motion to suppress, especially since the matter was continued on her motion.

People v. Duff, No. 1-05-2110, APPELLATE COURT OF ILLINOIS, FIRST DISTRICT, SECOND DIVISION, June 26, 2007, Decided, June 26, 2007, Opinion Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's conviction was affirmed because, while the admission of the testimony of a witness regarding an accomplice's guilty plea violated the Confrontation Clause of the Sixth Amendment, the error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt as, even without the testimony, a police officer's testimony was sufficient to support the conviction.
