Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Battery
Defendant was convicted, after bench trial, of domestic battery, for striking her 10-year-old son from 8 to 16 times with a snow brush. Evidence was sufficient for court to find that Defendant exercised unreasonable discipline, and that she was guilty of domestic battery by making physical contact of insulting or provoking nature, even though child did not suffer any physical injuries. (ZENOFF and SCHOSTOK, concurring.)
