Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Experts
(Court opinion corrected 1/6/11.) Defendant was convicted of possession of a controlled substance. Forensic chemist's testing method, which commingled each pill and powder before testing for the presence of each controlled substance, rendered speculative her findings as to quantity and weight. Thus, convictions are reduced, per Supreme Court Rule 615(b)(3), to the lowest class for each offense. (CAHILL and McBRIDE, concurring.)
