APPELLATE COURT OF ILLINOIS, SECOND DISTRICT, August 15, 2006, Decided , August 15, 2006, Filed

|
Overview: Finding that defendant was unfit to stand trial in a prior prosecution did not support a continuing presumption of unfitness to stand trial in a subsequent prosecution. The prior finding was too remote in time, defendant was not diagnosed with a continuing disorder, and his conduct during the subsequent trial did not indicate unfitness.

|
Overview: When defendant allegedly possessed a stolen car, instructions on definitions of stolen property and theft, under Ill. Pattern Jury Instructions Crim. Nos. 13.33G and 13.01 (4th ed. 2000), were mandatory, and not requesting them was ineffective assistance as, had they been given, there was a reasonable chance the trial's result would have differed.

People v. Ruiz, Nos. 1-04-3410,
APPELLATE COURT OF ILLINOIS, FIRST DISTRICT, SECOND DIVISION, August 15, 2006, Decided
View this case - free
|
Overview: The record did not show defendant validly waived his right to a jury trial, despite his written waiver, because there was no discussion of the waiver in open court when he was present, so it was not shown that he understandingly waived a jury, as 725 Ill. Comp. Stat. 5/103-6 (2004) required. The issue could be considered under the plain error rule.
