Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Subpoenas
(Court opinion corrected 1/18/11.) Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of six counts of criminal sexual assault of his daughter. Court properly refused requests to subpoena the victim's mental health records for an in camera inspection. Defendant failed to establish that victim's mental health records were material and relevant to her credibility, were for conditions other than those resulting from her sexual abuse by the Defendant, or would provide a source of impeaching information not available from other sources. Court properly ordered Defendant to pay restitution for expenses of victim's grandfather in transporting victim to and from Arkansas for trial, as he had assumed the role of victim's parent and was rightfully treated as the "single representative" referred to in statutory definition of victim.(GOLDENHERSH and DONOVAN, concurring.)
