Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Postconviction Petitions
Defendant was convicted in 1991, after jury trial, of multiple counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault of two minors under ruse that he wanted them to babysit for his son, and sentenced to total 64 years. Consolidated appeal is Defendant's eleventh appeal from these convictions. Defendant failed to show that conflict of interest necessitated transfer of his case from OSAD's fourth district office. OSAD's motion to withdraw granted, as no meritorious grounds exist to challenge court's denial of defendant's motion to file successive postconviction petition. His claims raised in that petition had been raised or could have been raised in earlier proceedings. (POPE and APPLETON, concurring.)
