Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Post-Conviction Petitions
Defendant was convicted of robbery after jury trial. Court properly treated Defendant's motion for fingerprints or forensic testing on a handgun as a postconviction petition. The existence of another person's fingerprints, or the lack of Defendant's fingerprints on the gun,would not significantly advance a claim of actual innocence. Defenndat did not allege a sufficiently secure chain of custody of gun, and gun was not admitted into evidence in Defendant's case, but only photographs. (STEIGMANN and HOLDER WHITE, concurring.)
