Case Number: 
2012 IL App (1st) 100857
Decision Date: 
Wednesday, February 1, 2012
District: 
1st Dist.
Division/County: 
Cook Co., 3d Div.
Holding: 
Reversed and remanded.
Justice: 
STEELE
Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of murder and aggravated criminal sexual assault. Defendant was denied effective assistance of counsel as his counsel failed to object to irrelevant, unfairly prejudicial portions of interrogation video where police questioned Defendant about other alleged crimes, also violating confrontation clause. Reasonable probability that trial outcome would have been different had counsel objected to this evidence. (NEVILLE and SALONE, concurring.)
