Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Evidence
Defendant was convicted, after bench trial, of possession with intent to deliver heroin within 1000 feet of a public park. Court may properly take judicial notice of park's location as north of intersection where Defendant was seen in hand-to-hand drug transaction, as shown on Google Maps, as it is a sufficiently reliable mainstream website. Evidence was sufficient to establish that Defendant was within 1000 feet of public park from the time he was first seen in transaction to when he was apprehended. Defendant failed to establish denial of due process in having been shackled during bench trial, as did not object at trial, and he failed to set forth specifically why he was denied a fair trial or was impeded from assisting his counsel. (McLAREN and HUTCHINSON, concurring.)
