|

Overview: Dismissal of buyers' case as a sanction for counsel's trial misconduct was improper. Record did not indicate that lesser sanction was ineffective, that dismissal was entered as a last resort, and that a trial was no longer possible. The buyers gained little benefit, if any, from their use of the exhibit, which had minimal impact on the jury.

Overview: In a medical malpractice action, the evidence supported the jury's finding that a doctor had a duty to inform a patient of a neurosurgeon's negligence and that the doctor's care of the patient deviated from the standard of care. The neurosurgeon's videotaped deposition was not "necessary" or "indispensable" to the trial, Ill. Sup. Ct. R. 206(g)(5).

|
Overview: Other-crimes evidence was properly admitted under continuing-narrative, common scheme or design, motive, and intent exceptions. Attempted murder convictions were upheld as jury could have inferred intent from use of a deadly weapon and character of attack, and convictions for attempt and home invasion did not violate one-act, one-crime rule.
