View this case - free  

Overview: The trial court erred in suppressing a police officer's testimony that took place during a videotape recording of the arrest where the conversation took place as a result of the officer's investigation of a possible DUI offense, not as a result of the videotape recording, and thus, the testimony was not the fruit of the poisonous tree.

People v. Delgado, No. 1-05-1592, APPELLATE COURT OF ILLINOIS, FIRST DISTRICT, FIFTH DIVISION, November 17, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Aggravated criminal sexual abuse conviction was reversed because pattern instruction given did not define "sexual conduct" and thus, failed to correctly state law applicable to case, in which defendant was charged with transmitting semen onto complainant's stomach. Lack of physical evidence and inconsistent testimony did not warrant reversal.

View this case - free  

Overview: Where defendant called elderly women from jail, posed as a relative, and requested money, his conviction for felony theft by deception under 720 Ill. Comp. Stat. Ann. 5/16-1(a)(2) was upheld because his request to represent himself was properly denied, a victim's deposition at home was proper, and caller ID evidence was properly admitted.

Terrell L. v. Dep't of Children & Family Servs. (In re Terrell L.), No. 1-06-1356, APPELLATE COURT OF ILLINOIS, FIRST DISTRICT, SIXTH DIVISION, November 17, 2006, Decided , November 17, 2006, Opinion Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Circuit court's interpretation of 705 Ill. Comp. Stat. Ann. 405/2-27 that required finding of unfitness of minor's guardian before change in guardianship could be made was incorrect; once minor's parents were found unfit, all subsequent guardianship considerations were to be based on the minor's bests interests, not the fitness of current guardian.
