View this case - free  

Overview: Youth diversion/peer court charge, 55 Ill. Comp. Stat. 5/5-1101(e), (e)(2), was not unconstitutional because the charge was not intended to reimburse the State for any prosecution cost, and thus, was a fine, and survived a due process analysis as the $ 5 fine was not wildly disproportionate to underlying drug possession offense.

Werner v. Nebal, No. 1-06-2322, APPELLATE COURT OF ILLINOIS, FIRST DISTRICT, FIFTH DIVISION, November 7, 2007, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Because the case fell within 235 Ill. Comp. Stat. 5/6-21, joint and several liability was proper as to the club owner. The trial court did not err when it refused to provide the jury with an instruction on the affirmative defense of provocation as there was no reason to believe that an injured person's words or gestures constituted provocation.
