View this case - free  

Overview: Conviction for involuntary manslaughter as lesser offense of first degree murder was upheld, as victim's status as household member was not "element" of involuntary manslaughter; while 720 Ill. Comp. Stat. Ann. 5/9-3(f), required proof victim was household member, that factor did not create distinct offense, but rather enhanced range of penalties.

People v. Walter, No. 2-06-0104, APPELLATE COURT OF ILLINOIS, SECOND DISTRICT, June 29, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: An officer's request, instead of order, to submit to field sobriety tests did not improperly seize defendant's person because it was based on a reasonable suspicion that defendant committed DUI. Officers' collective knowledge then established probable cause that defendant committed DUI, so the Fourth Amendment did not require quashing his arrest.

View this case - free  

Overview: Where a creditor obtained a judgment against a corporation for which he was a director, the creditor lacked standing to sue a shareholder for liability under the alter ego theory because the creditor had no standing to pierce the corporation's corporate veil as a director since he did not stand in the position of an innocent third party creditor.
