People v. Farmer 

Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of falsely representing himself to be the parent, legal guardian or other relation of a minor child to a public employee. Defendant had repeatedly stated to police officer that a 12-year-old runaway girl, whom police recognized as a missing person, was his "cousin", after police spotted the two at a mall, and then fled the scene when officer suggested they go to police station. Verdict would not have been different had it been instructed as to limiting construction of statute. No ineffective assistance of counsel in defense attorney repeatedly stating that Defendant was "not a saint", and suggesting that Defendant may have been engaged in other crimes, as this was intended to suggest an explanation for his flight. (QUINN and NEVILLE, concurring.)
