Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Insanity Defense
Defendant was charged with burglary and retail theft, and found not guilty by reason of insanity. Court properly entered order committing Defendant to inpatient treatment at a secure facility. Defendant's stipulation that a psychiatrist would testify in accordance with his report was not a functional waiver of the entire hearing, but only a waiver of requirement of live testimony. Psychiatrist's report provides sufficiently specific factual basis to support court's finding by clear and convincing evidence. (WELCH and WEXSTTEN, concurring.)
