People v. Curtis, No. 3-03-1029, APPELLATE COURT OF ILLINOIS, THIRD DISTRICT, August 15, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Trial court's failure to consider Boose factors before placing defendant in restraints at defendant's aggravated battery trial was a violation of defendant's Ill. Const. art. I, § 2 due process rights, but his failure to object to use of restraints and the circumstances meant plain error doctrine did not apply and issue was waived.

People v. Meyers, No. 2-04-1158, APPELLATE COURT OF ILLINOIS, SECOND DISTRICT, August 15, 2006, Decided , August 15, 2006, Filed
View this case - free  

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.

People v. Pollards, No. 1-05-0451, APPELLATE COURT OF ILLINOIS, FIRST DISTRICT, SECOND DIVISION, August 15, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

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.

No Frye hearing was necessary as such manufacture involved simple chemistry.
